Re^2: Mojolicious::Lite: Should i use the build-in web server?

Thank you very much Pizentios for your advice. I'll give it a try.

"...as we have no idea of what your application does..."

Briefly, it's just about tracking some business processes:

Import some data (CSV or Excel files from various sources AKA departments)
There are about 1000 records every day
Every record should have a status
If a record is "imported" (or initial) status is 0
If the process is finished status is "solved"
Status is from 0 up to ~50
That means: "initial", "phoned customer", "emailed customer", "sent snail mail to customer"... "you didn't pay - go to jail"..."solved"
If the data matches some criterion (on import), status should be updated automatically
Sometimes the operators need to update status manually
Sometimes the operators need to add some comments to the records
If some status is reached, the data is to be exported as CSV or Excel file for further processing by the next department
Every record needs to be "checked out" by it's operator and marked as "locked"
If a record is "checked out" and marked as "locked" it should be visible to the other operators but not editable
There is a need for some "role concept" (from "read-only" up to do "everything")

I described the software stack i use :-)

Best regards, Karl

Sounds to me like perl and mojolicious would handle your processes just fine.....and do it fast. I have done many projects that involved processing csv files doing something with the data and then saving to a database or another format. I have found that perl does this type of thing very well. There are many modules in cpan for working with csv/excel. Mojolicious has plugins to get you running with roles very quickly as well (ie: operator status etc)...https://metacpan.org/pod/Mojolicious::Plugin::Authorization comes to mind. Good luck and i hope you enjoy the framework as much as i do. -Pizentios	[reply]

I use a stack made of Apache/Mod_perl/Postgres that I find very versatile; there are options to use nginx instead of Apache, and of course many databases through DBI.pm All of what you describe could be done with a couple modules in Perl that query some tables in a database and generate a few lines of html. Since you know Perl already, the initial learning curve for mod_perl does not seem huge. I'm not sure what a framework brings you over this in your case? libremen.com : legal case, contract and insurance claim management software	[reply]
