There's certainly nothing sick about it, save for the points derby and bart point out.

"$print" is a bit redundant :)

People quibble about GET, PUT, POST etc mapping to their logical functions for a true REST interface, but it really depends on what you expect your client to be able to understand. Everyone understands GET and POST, so I tend to use those exclusively (and still call it a REST-y interface).

Putting the 'client_key' in a header might be considered ever-so-slightly safer, in that it won't appear in a URL (regardless of SSL use), but you could just as easily require that the data be submitted with a POST by checking the method.

Is $lookup subject to SQL injection attack? I don't think so, if you're using a prepare() and parameter binding. But I could be wrong. In any case, that's something to look out for when writing a web service like this that uses a param() in a SQL statement.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
