BerntB has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings, monks!

A simple question: Which is the recommended Git integration module on CPAN?
The demands are quite low. I need to check out given an URL, commit and git push.

If there is no good module, is there a CPAN module with good support for Dropbox?

(I am trying to do a minimal Emacs Org Mode in a web browser and need a save function, server side. It will be quite a while before this is minimally usable. https://github.com/berntb/attorg.)

And while I am asking -- Should I go from Dancer 1 to Dancer 2?

    If it's simple git integration, I would either simply use system with the appropriate git commands, or look at Git::Wrapper, which claims to do command construction and parameter quoting for you.

    Using the Git module (which comes with git) is risky, as your program then tightly depends on the installed version of git.

    The most creative access to git repositories is likely through Git::Repository, but I assume that it's far too low level and far too powerful for what you actually need.

      Thanks, that was all I really needed.
