whatever reason.
Is there a (decent, maintained) Perl-based e-commerce platform
out there?
I've found lists of scripts (as they called them) for things like

has rich sets of libraries for back end transactions, but for front end stuff

No.
I can find plenty of, for example, shops running Magento and I can
