RFC: Swagger-codegen for Perl

Hi all,

https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen contains a template-driven engine to generate client code in different languages by parsing your Swagger Resource Declaration. Recently I've added the Perl template. To test the code generation, please perform the following (assuming you've the dependencies installed):

git clone https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen.git
git checkout develop_2.0
git checkout 
mvn clean && ./bin/perl-petstore.sh
[download]

If you do not want to install the dependencies and just want to get a peek at the auto-generated Perl SDK, please go to the directory samples/client/petstore/perl to have a look at the Perl SDK for Petstore http://petstore.swagger.io (please make sure you're in the develop_2.0 branch)

The Perl SDK is not perfect and I would appreciate your time to test and review, and share with me your feedback.

(ideally I would like to post this at "Meditations" but I couldn't find a way to post there)

Best,

I am thrilled to see Swagger and Perl working together. After the most superficial review, one thing stands out. The APIClient.mustache file uses the best-avoided Switch module. There are a number of ways to write the code without switch. I recommend either chaining `if () {} elsif () {}` or using a hash as a dispatch table. I'll try to get a more in depth look, and see if I have any other comments. TGI says moo	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks TGI. I'll revise the code to avoid using Switch	[reply]

Submitted https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-codegen/pull/799 to avoid using Switch and make API client more pluggable	[reply]

another easy criticism, comments instead of pod	[reply]
