Yes. Personally, I like the Dancer2 framework, but there's also Mojolicious, to name just two. You can also go the old route, and use CGI.	[reply]

Is Perl still a viable option to construct an interactive web page? Yes! These recent threads should give you plenty of information: UP-TO-DATE Comparison of CGI Alternatives Alternative to CGI.pm Much of the dynamic nature of modern websites comes from JavaScript in the browser, to that end there are several libraries, the one I usually reach for is jQuery. But Perl is still very well suited to handle the server side.	[reply]

Perl was never a viable option for DHTML if that is what you are asking. Perl is an excellent option for the backend to an interactive website though.	[reply]

Perl can generate the code that generates "DHTML," you Philistine.	[reply]

Without ECMAScript, ActionScript, ActiveX, CSS2–3, et al that webpage is not interactive. My answer was targeted at the possibility of the OP’s somewhat opaque question being misconstrued—as indicated actually but there does seem to be a falling away from RIF among a couple of the more prolific nonamemonks—because the word “interactive” was used. Your answers… the Luddite calling the kettle Philistine. Old technology never dies! Once more unto the breach!	[reply]

Is Perl still a viable option to construct an interactive web page? Why would passage of time change viability? Old software doesn't turn nuclear with time	[reply]

Is Perl still a viable option to construct an interactive web page? Probably not for you, if after 12 years as a Monk you (a) don't know the answer to that question, and (b) ask any question in such a helpless, non-self-sufficient way. You should look at WordPress. Hope this helps! The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply]

Interesting group of responses: there were helpful responses suggesting different frameworks and posting links etc. and then there were the snotty responses such as this one. If you are offended by my question why waste yours and my time by writing a smart-ass response? go to the trouble of looking up how long I've used Perl Monks and then insult me; sorry you don't have anything better to do. thanks to those who took the trouble of making a helpful suggestion (which I have followed up on)	[reply]
