I guess I'm old school. For simple projects I still use Perl with CGI.pm and a flat file database that stores data in CGI.pm's "name=value" format in a text file.
If I need templates I'll add "HTML:Template", for email I'll add "Mail::Sendmail", et cetera, to my perl cgi script.
- hga 10y agoI'm old school as well, last time I had a "simple" project that didn't allow setting up a SQL RDMS I used flat files, and for system administration by users their presence in various directories and Windows' file manager back when it was simple, fast and good. Normally, though, I like independent enforcement of data integrity, and PostgreSQL is free, easy to set up and maintain.
- stevekemp 10y agoNice to see more Perl here. I too use Perl for most applications. These days I mostly use CGI::Application, which is great, although I've started to experiment with using Dancer (which is kinda like Ruby's sinatra framework) with success.
