hi,
thanks all.
I checked the catalyst, dancer and mojolicio' s web sites (thx Tom), are they
trying to develop the complete (and big) internet app in perl, like people do
in java?
my requirements are:
1. get form data from user: execute a perl script (currently my perl CLI script
stores output in text file), and then display result in same window, and give
user ability to refresh portions of output.
2. second type of requirement is query an external website and parse the
results and present (all or part) in a way i want.
3. 1&2 may need to be combined in the same page/output.
4. i definitely want to use template system to input and output data.
one thing i am confused about Dancer/catalyst is do i have to use their
commands or normal perl module commands (like telnet, cgi etc. or like tt which
has its own keywords/syntax)
rgds,
Rajeev

I am new to perl CGI, with so many options, i am confused. does modules like
tt, html::template, mason etc. replace CGI module in perl CGI scripting? Can
someone guide please? is CGI module the only one which can parse the values
coming from FORM input fields?

If you're just getting started, perhaps a framework might be a
better choice?
Mojolicious (http://mojolicio.us/) and Dancer
(http://perldancer.org/) are great for a quick start, and Catalyst
works well for larger projects and has a lot of developers behind it
(http://www.catalystframework.org/). Their documentation should also cover
how CGI is handled, and also provide more background on other alternatives such
as FastCGI, mod_perl and Plack/PSGI.
