[Pdx-pm] Jifty template?

[Chris Dawson]

Is HTML::Mason still tightly coupled to mod_perl and Apache?  Are you
required to use Apache when using, and more specifically testing,
jifty apps?  Can a jifty app run on top of lighttpd, or behind a pound
reverse-proxy, or even with it's own stand alone pure Perl server?
Unfortunately when I hear HTML::Mason right now I cringe because it
allowed me to write web applications where the logic and presentation
were mixed and mashed together.  And HM ran on top of mod_perl which
didn't work with apache 2.0 for four years, and that was plenty of
time to discover rails.

It sure would stop a lot of complaints.  I doubt it has to live on top of Mason, I don't think Jifty is using the Mason event loop.
