perlweekly VS mojo

and Gabor Szabo https://perlmaven.com/about

They are also both co-editors of the Perl Weekly https://perlweekly.com/

The Perl Foundation co-ordinates activities such as grants funding development, fundraising, and conference organizing. https://www.perlfoundation.org/

There are also a few senior Perl personalities still around such as brian d. foy who continue to write and update books and blogs.

The post-Larry Wall community seems to be doing ok so far. What is notably missing is more active participation from companies making the most use of Perl such as Craigslist or Duck Duck Go.

Initial thoughts

If you end up doing web development, check out Mojolicious:

https://mojolicious.org/

If you choose to go down the Mojolicious road, there's lots of deployment information and guides in the Mojolicious Cookbook.

I guess this will make it harder to search for Mojo(licious)-related stuff. 😩

But if I want the return value of 'test_p' or the error message 'This is an error', I can't seem to figure that out. I tried looking at the promise tests (https://github.com/mojolicious/mojo/blob/main/t/mojo/promise.t) but that didn't seem to work either.

Several! The 3 big players in order of release are Catalyst, (released in 2005), Dancer2 (Dancer was first released in 2009, but went through a complete re-write as Dancer2 around 2013), and Mojolicious (released in 2010).

This project sounds to me like the perfect excuse to learn Mojolicious if you're interested in converting your scripts into a web application using Perl.

Awesome! I still use Perl on a pretty regular basis both for work and fun. I really enjoy it. Definitely take a look at Mojolicious if you haven't already. It's primarily focused on being a web framework (both server and client), but it's nicely modular so you can use bits and pieces of the stack. In i3mojo, I used the Mojo::IOLoop event loop, Mojo::Base as a base class system, and Mojo::UserAgent as a web client for some plugins.

Last time I used Perl for anything web it was via https://mojolicious.org/

It even does event-based and websockets
