Rewriting a php app into perl

This is a working space for me to play with using perl to construct web pages and web apps. My goal is to go through all the perl modules on JT's April 21, 2010 Perl Update presentation and to use Plack/PSGI to rewrite my php jobsearch demo app in perl.

Simple perl

The first thing I wanted to do was to create a completely standards compliant, xhtml1-strict, utf-8 encoded web page completely separating structure from display, using only perl variables and print commands. That is what this page is.

It contains links to a favicon, to print and default stylesheets, and it imports two stylesheets: one standards compliant and one for IE.

Add in Moose and LWP

These modules should allow me to define perl objects and to separate the perl code from my html more cleanly.

Connect to a mySQL database

Use DBIx to connect to a mySQL database.

Add Plack/PSGI

Create a web app using Plack and the Perl Server Gateway Interface. This will probably involve rewriting my current jobsearch app from php to perl.
