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

Hello

I will be developing a small app where users would register accounts and upload their photos and commenting texts.

The client wants me to make it possible for the users to register both with the app registering system and by their Facebook accounts.

The client (that orders the app) wants also to make it possible for the users to decide which if their content to be uploaded to their facebook wall. And when uploaded there - to have a link that would let the facebok users to follow that photo with link (and to vote eventually) .

Not much help around the net guyw, thats why I am asking for it here.

By now I did find this as some sort of example http://www.perl.com/pub/2011/03/facebook-authentication-with-perl-and-facebookgraph.html

but it does not open the horizons I expect clearly.

May I ask you for general directions - what way to go. Will Facebook::Graph; and Dancer modules will do the job?

Meanwhile I get this respons from facebook

"you need at least Net::SSLeay version 1.33 for getting subjectAltNames at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/IO/Socket/SSL.pm line 1611"

Sincereley, Joseph

    You were doing OK until your last para. We prefer to see what you can do yourself... and then to help you past the rough spots.

    But re your other questions... I strongly suspect some Monk with knowledge of the subject matter will come forth and provide you with information that will let you proceed to actually writing that code with confidence that you're following a recommended course.

    Have a look at Dancer-Plugin-Facebook.

    I would first check with facebook to see if/how this is possible, then I'd go looking for a perl interface to the facebook API
