http://www.openthought.net is the closest Perl equivalent, though it's still a little rough around the edges. I'm especially uncertain how it works with large loads as I personally have never used it outside of a sandbox.
Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

Especially the stuff from Google. They have been working on giving new dimension to web applications.
No kidding!!
Ajax: Here's the concept described... Although not much to do with Perl .. at least not yet..
| [reply] |
There is the Sajax toolkit, which has a (not really perlish) Perl port. I am using it to write a collaborative (text/code) editor that runs in the browser. The prototype lives at http://zaphod.datenzoo.de, but it is very rough at the edges. As soon as I get the code into a releasable state, I'll post more of the code.
The problem with JavaScript RPC is that you have to be more or less fluent in both, Perl and JavaScript to get the tight interaction correct, at least until you have stabilized on an API.

I didn't like the SAJAX toolkit too much, so I rolled all the javascript out of the Perl code and replaced it with a .js file.
Then I turned the perl script into a CGI::Application module and have the result running here:

Code available for download.

What kind of framework are you looking for? You mean something for handling the Javascript and XMLHttpRequest side of things? | [reply] |
Sure, it's easy to build applications like gmail!
- Start a search engine that becomes the de facto standard
- Float an IPO to gain billions of dollars
- Hire dozens of the most brilliant programmers you can find
- Tell them "Write an application like gmail"
:-P
