Perl and neo4j

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

with so much hype about graph databases, I'm somewhat surprised that there doesn't seem to be anything out there about working with a database like neo4j from Perl. Nothing on CPAN yet and not really any examples of using Perl to interact with neo4j. Has anybody been doing this? I guess one can always use the REST API to interact with the database if there are no Perl bindings. I'd be curious if people here have any experience with that. Thanks!

I don't have experience with neo4j specifically, but with other REST APIs. Generally they are pretty easy to use from Perl, since Perl has excellent support for JSON and HTTP requests. I know that ElasticSearch has taken that approach to talk to its search backend, and it seems to work out well. Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply]

Thanks moritz, yes, I think interacting through the REST API is probably the way to go.	[reply]

Hi there, there is a GIThub project on this, https://github.com/franckcuny/net-neo4j that you could start from. Would be great to get some progress there! /peter neubauer	[reply]
