Hello all, About two years ago, I wrote a web page for one of my projects, using Network.CGI. I chose that over WASH because it had a simple interface and I thought it would be more stable as a result. Now, Bjorn Bringert has replaced the interface with a completely different one. There is a cgi-compat, but it doesn't build with GHC 6.8.2. Does anyone know a quick way to get my web page functioning again? Is there an early version of Network.CGI (with the 'wrapper' interface) that still compiles under GHC 6.8.2? I'm a bit reluctant to convert my code to the new interface, because it will probably change completely again in a year or so, and I'd rather not have to keep revisiting my project and rewriting the web page... Anyway, I am attaching the source file. Thanks in advance, Frederik P.S. Sometimes programmers make a rule of changing the names of things when they change the interface; this makes it possible to keep the old interface alongside the new one, so code which depends on the old interface don't have to change. Is there a reason why the Haskell community does not adopt this practice? It seems that people are always saying that there is a lack of manpower in this community, perhaps that is an excellent reason to make *fewer* incompatible changes, rather than more? -- http://ofb.net/~frederik/
