I don't think the analogy is quite right.  We're talking about a Perl
web application design tool.  If the website for it doesn't have some
kind of demo and in fact uses mostly PHP code, what good is the lib.
Maybe I should go look at PHP instead.  No, really, this is an
important point.

Look at http://jquery.com/ , http://flowplayer.org/ ,
http://www.phpbb.com/ , http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki ,
http://rubyonrails.org/ , http://www.web-app.net/ , etc.

I think it's important that the website selling a website tool at
least demo the product it pretends to be selling.


(Strictly speaking, I'm not so sure the RoR site is in RoR... how could I tell?)
