Of course, it's not possible currently since everyone has a
different
framework and different concept of 'right' place.
Doing this at the mod_perl level is probably one level too low.
ASP.Net
is not the equivalent of mod_perl. It is more like any one of the
frameworks such as Catalyst, CGI::Application etc.

But I'd also add that the WORST system functionality and javascript
comes from automated js. Its often bloated and only very 'simple',
and attacks a user side issue from a backend developer perspective.
thats just stupid.
keep your js and css in the control of your user interface designers
-- they know whats best. give them the tools and API to handle it
within templates and be able to talk to the backend in a manner that
they understand. anything else is just asking for 250k download
pages of pure text with javascript that barely works.
i don't see how any of this relates to mobile computing. when
people choose a language to run something on web + mobile + embedded
systems a platform is often chosen because the code runs on the
device and needs that sort of support. when you're talking about
making a WAP enabled website, all you need is an alternate template
tree .
