I do a lot of work professionally and currently some (due to time constraints) personally with perl, these days much of this uses the Mojolicious framework. It makes building web based systems fun again and is a joy to work with. Recently I put together a application in Mojo that can replace two existing systems (one our old perl CGI::Application based tool and the other a proprietary mess with vast hardware and software dependencies, impacting both server and client side.). The little Mojo app is many times faster than the production system, and does things it never could. Mojo also provides a great deal of other things to the table including Mojo::DOM and Mojo::UserAgent which making parsing/scraping, munging and manipulating any web based contents fairly trivial. The framework and tools provided are well worth exploring.
