I'm working intensely with the $client this week that is doing
the most active development with CGI::Prototype.  I'm even presenting
a one-hour talk on it at a PerlMongers meeting tomorrow.

I expect a new release of CGIP with more examples and better docs
within two weeks, and I'll see about putting my talk online as well.

Also, I'm getting funded to write CGI::Prototype::Pathinfo, which
maintains state through extended paths, rather than hidden fields.
Should be pretty interesting.

The $client is very pleased so far... controller code is getting
reused across multiple related projects, and CGIP has just exactly the
right abstractions and hoks for them.  View code (templates) are also
getting reused, although they're just starting to figure that out.
