      <title>CPAN Module review - Web apps</title>
      <description type="text/html">When I'm developing web applications, I use those frameworks that make my work easier. The size of the webs is not big and I have been working with &lt;a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?CGI::Application"&gt;CGI::Application&lt;/a&gt; for years. In a recent search, I have found &lt;a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Dancer"&gt;Dancer&lt;/a&gt;. This framework handles the routes concept (an idea from &lt;a href="http://www.sinatrarb.com/"&gt;Ruby's Sinatra&lt;/a&gt;); routes are paths which are binded to code. For example:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table bgcolor="#f0f0f0" border="1" cellpadding="7" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;get&lt;/b&gt; '/home' =&amp;gt; &lt;b&gt;sub&lt;/b&gt; { 'Hi, this is home!' };&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a lot of plugins available (database, logging, session handling, REST, AJAX, validation, templates, WebSocket, ...) at CPAN. You can write your own plugin by subclassing &lt;a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Dancer::Plugin"&gt;Dancer::Plugin&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The framework comes with a script that builds the skeleton of your application, with a nice structure in folders: views, libs, ... it takes seconds to start a new application.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I &amp;nbsp;definitely recommend &lt;a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Dancer"&gt;Dancer&lt;/a&gt; to you. Just install and try!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5910101498857524639-5795437297335601353?l=niceperl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>
