Modern Web Development in Perl - Gabor Sazbo

Abstract

Back in the early years of the dynamic web, Perl was the de-facto choice of language. It was so ubique that people associated it with CGI. For that, even today, Perl suffers from a bad image. Even though, under the visible surface, there are strong powers leading to a much better future. In the last couple of years a new bread of frameworks appeared in the Perl world. They are all based on the PSGI standard that rhymes to WSGI and Rack. In this presentation we will see a couple of examples for writing PSGI ( http://plackperl.org/ ) and Dancer ( http://perldancer.org/ ) based applications.

About the speaker: Gabor Szabo is a long time Perl developer and trainer. He has been using Perl since 1995 and teaching it since 2000. He is runs his blog at http://szabgab.com/ and publishes a weekly newsletter with Perl related news called Perl Weekly: http://perlweekly.com/ .
