Yes, I understand that Zen is basically a Framework that coordinates of all
these tools and that is most certainly a good approach.

What I was talking about is the structure of the code which doesn't really
reflect the modularity of the system. For example html and code are mixed
into each other which makes any reworking of the interface really painful.
Also looking at the debian package files are installed into /usr/local and
the package contains the binaries of other tools which should be packaged
by themselves.
The real problem for me is the fact that this is written in Perl though. I
realize that this is really just a matter of personal preference but I
think Perl is no longer a good choice if you want to attract contributors.
If this was written in php then I would be interested in investing some
time in this project as I think it really looks like the only viable load
balancing UI out there but I cannot see myself ever working with perl again.

I've never worked with Piranha so I'm not arguing for it in any way.
I was actually thinking about creating a simple and easy to use myself for
some time now. My plan however was to base the interface code on the
Symfony 2 framework and make it primarily work with LVS and Keepalived or
ucarp. When I saw your posting I was hoping that I could skip doing a
complete project myself and instead just integrate the LVS code into yours
but now I am contemplating doing a new project again.

Dennis
