Re: [cgiapp] is this list still active?
The list is still active but I don't know if anyone's still developing in CGI::App. I have a legacy app that I maintain, but it seems that more modern frameworks like Dancer(2), Mojolicious, Web::Simple and Catalyst have taken over. Ron also updated CGI::App to CGI::Snapp last year but I'm not sure where he is with that. It was an interesting question about putting form elements into a tt, but I don't know the answer. I do it manually. If there *is* an answer it's probably not CGI::App specific, but I'd be happy to stand corrected. There are many helpers you could use to semi-automate the form (CGI::FormBuilder, FormFu, etc), but I've never found one I like. Anyone know of anything useful?

Re: [cgiapp] is this list still active?
OK .. It's been some time since I've had to to much Perl/web development. I last worked with C:A over 10 years ago, so I'm just coming back to what I know. Sounds like I need to take a look at Dancer. What is Dancer? Dancer is a simple but powerful web application framework for Perl. Key features * *Dead Simple* - Intuitive, minimalist and very expressive syntax. * *Flexible* - PSGI support, plugins and modular design allow for strong scalability. * *Few dependencies* - Dancer depends on as few CPAN modules as possible making it easy to install.

* Richard Jones [20/11/2014 14:17] : The list is still active but I don't know if anyone's still developing in CGI::App. What has me worried is stuff like https://github.com/markstos/CGI--Application/pull/15 I have no issues with applications being deemed feature-full and the last release being several years old but I do expect security fixes to be applied promptly with a release soon after.

Catalyst is recommended for heavy-lifting. Dancer2 somewhere in between, though lots of overlap. Not tried Mojo or CGI::Snapp to any extent myself so can't comment. CGI::App still works of course but is way behind the curve now. -- Richard Jones # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####

CGI::App still works of course but is way behind the curve now. *** That put me in a quandary. In 2006, I started building an application to help with my business. At first, I just used CGI.pm, and built my own state-driven system for moving from page to page. Then I discovered frameworks. I tried Catalyst, and it was very slick when you used their canned pages. But there was a little too much magic for my taste. I wasn't having a good feel for what was going on behind the curtain. And as easy as it was to set up a canned web page, that's how hard it was to do something different. Especially debugging. Big learning curve. So I settled on cgiapp. Just enough magic to make my life easy. My app has grown quite large, and it would be painful to recode it. - Jerry Kaidor ( je...@tr2.com ) # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####
Re: [cgiapp] is this list still active?
jerry writes So I settled on cgiapp. Just enough magic to make my life easy. I am in a similar case. I use FCCI with cgiapp. I have a simple URL, get params from POST, look up some data, create XML and then transform it with XSLT to get back to the client, and write some XML to disk. I don't use a database, just disk files. I have one application under mod_perl that I want to port to cgiapp + FCGI, to get independent of running a separate appache as I don't want to use apaches's UID, my application write data to the disk. Is there anything you guys recommend for this type of application? -- Cheers, Thomas Krichel http://openlib.org/home/krichel skype:thomaskrichel # CGI::Application community mailing list #### ## To unsubscribe, or change your message delivery options, ## ## visit: http://www.erlbaum.net/mailman/listinfo/cgiapp## #### ## Web archive: http://www.erlbaum.net/pipermail/cgiapp/ ## ## Wiki: http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/ ## ####

Many of the screens now have in-place editing with client-side javascript. It has its own system of multiple users with passwords and individual permissions. It's been a fun and useful platform to use, tune, and expand.
