I use mod_perl in my app and will attend a discussion about this module.

Do you think this type of discussion is worthy of a future meeting?

Greetings,
My only qualm with Mojolicious is the short deprecation cycle and how
often you have to update your code to work with the latest and
greatest (or lock on an older version). However, I do *love* their
testing framework so that's a major plus.
Nowadays I use Dancer for just about everything and I've been quite
happy with it. For pure API applications I tend to daemonize with
lighttpd, for website type things I generally use Apache. I admit
there is a certain performance hit for not using a reverse proxy to
starman (or related) but the ease of management has outweighed any of
those concerns for me.
My WebSocket library uses AnyEvent and all of the related modules
(AnyEvent::Handle etc) and I demonize that directly without something
like Apache/Plack/Starman/etc
I think the real answer is that "It depends on what you are doing."
If you are building a full website and you need a templating engine
something like Dancer/Mojo tend to be the best choices.
I'm always happy to discuss these sorts of things though and I could
share the testing library I created for Dancer that makes it easy to
test apps similar to how Test::Mojo works. It lets you use the
Test::WWW::Mechanize library against Dancer apps and has always worked
nicely for me.
Best Regards,
Robert Stone

Thanx for the reply Mark.
Just because it is old, does not make it correct.
In mod_perl2, I write a series of verbs that take values and do
things all compiled into Apache, what is faster?
I will stipulate the easy aspects of Mojo.

Because it's not 2004 anymore?
Seriously, it couldn't be easier to write a nice web layer using
Mojolicious::Lite (yeah I was a Dancer guy back in the day but I'm
all Mojo these days not that I'm writing a bunch of Perl for
$dayjob.)
All you need to do is `cpanm Mojolicious` and start implementing
route handlers. It even will handle turning your hashes into JSON
automagically.
I will be out of the country for the June meeting, but it would be
fun to do a presentation about Mojo for July if people are
interested in that.
Cheers,
Mark

Per my previous mail, I will prepare for J.D.'s challenge.
But I would like to have a discussion on the reasons one would pick
dancer or some plack layer over mod_perl2.
We could later even do some benchmarking, but we have to get a suite
of tasks to benchmark.
