I'm knee-deep in a start-up of my own ... starting, building
Revolutionary Web-based Games. The project has gotten a fair deal of
attention in angel and VC communities in San Francisco and New York,
and is currently in an alpha development state. It's not a success
story yet, but it will be next year.
We're using mp2 for all of our web interfaces. In my view, mp2 finally
puts Perl to use for what it's really good at in web apps: NOT markup,
but true MVC/MVP development. Perl's terse-ity in writing short,
specific, and simple functional handlers (DB access, file manipulation,
data conversions, etc.) that return XML or other data structs,
processed by a filter with mod_xslt (superfast) or mp2 with
XML::LibXSLT is, frankly, a dream. Apache2/mp2 puts the functional
separation where, IMO, it belongs (the daemon), rather than where most
of us have been trying to do it (in a single handler that does all its
own processing, dispatching, throwing $r to and fro). In our system,
other applications (Flash) need to access those same simple routines,
and do so directly, so there's zero code duplication from the server
standpoint.
