Re: Web Development Options

As you note there are a number of options, and much has been written on the pros and cons of them all. Have a look at the Tutorials section on CGIs, where you will find some very good intro articles. I suggest you could do a lot worse than using CGI::Application and HTML::Template. Here is a brief overview of using CGI::Application on perl.com.

I'm a professional web site developer, and I've been using and enjoying using CGI::Application with HTML::Template for years. I also co-own Summersault, which provides hosting, and not surprisingly already has current versions of these modules installed. I have also found that the CGI::Application mailing list has a high signal to noise ratio, and somewhat often wanders to discussions about "best practices" for web development in the paradigm. There are actually not many questions about how to use CGI::Application, I assume because it's fairly easy to use. disclaimer: I help maintain CGI::Application. Mark Stosberg	[reply]
