Hello everyone,
I'm working on a work project where we are moving a few Perl scripts
from a command line to a web page that will allow more users to access
the tool. Basically it's a very simple script that takes an updated CSV
feed, runs a internal test, then reports back the numbers from the test.
Ideally, we would like to have this run from a web page instead of from
the command line as more people would like to access the tool but don't
want to give everyone shell access. But the question is how should we
build out this web page? In college I did some CGI Perl writing but it
looks like (I could be wrong) that this is no longer the standard, and
more people recommend going with Dancer, Mojolicious or Catalyst.
If you are building a web *site* - with hundreds of pages linked to each
other with a common theme and some variety of back-end data store, then
the steep learning-curve of any of the frameworks would be well worth
the investment.
If you want to build a single web *page* where you feed it a file, it
processes the data in some way, and produces an HTML report, I can see
no good reason not to use something on the order of complexity of CGI.
