   > Perl is horrible (relative to other choices) for development, it ranks low on readability, refactorability, consistency, dependency evolution. The flip side is that other languages are tediously verbose, require IDE's, lack flexibilit

   Oh man, far too much to list in a post. Just for starters though: perl 5.12 language features, Moose, Plack, perlbrew, Task::Kensho, the Modern Perl and Enlightened Perl movements, the Padre IDE, Strawberry Perl. That's maybe 0.0001% of wh

   you know there's lots of new development going on for perl aside from Mojolicious, right? :)

   Okay, follow-up question. Can you hand-code an HTML form, trap the form's submission and perform some JS validation, POST the data to a server-side script of some kind, un-bundle the submitted fields and then echo them in the server-side re

   1. Learn HTML, at least enough to make a form. 2. Learn CSS (just enough to stylize the form fields). 3. Learn to validate the form with Javascript and the DOM. 4. Create a very basic CGI script (in any language) to display (echo) what you

   Using a framework is a hard and fast rule for a custom web app? I disagree.

   Errr, Catholics do not believe they can condemn people to hell any more than they can send people to heaven. Not even the pope can do that :)

    If they are "good with Perl," then why would you "not want to hire them"?

    What you have written brings a tear to my eye.

    1. So few people use open source? 2. Closed source is better at optimizing for user experience?

    Hi Phil, don't feel bad, amigo. The problem is that the good Perl 6 people are putting in long hours making something really awesome, and they are doing it only for fun, the challenge, the love of programming, and because it's great to buil

    Also I think you need to swap these labels when you click "How does this work?": Movies To Watch - Movies that you have watched... Movies Watched - Movies that you want to watch

    It's great to see Perl.com getting revamped. I wonder what the editorial direction will be, relative to the other official Perl sites (which have improved tremendously in the last year).

    Your requirement that certain features be "built into the core" seems to rule out a lot of languages which happen to be extensible.

    Just use Mouse, a lighter Moose. Or use Any::Mouse (whichever is installed).

    They are all good languages splitting the same market (roughly). Perl lets you get under the hood in a way that either is frowned upon, impractical, or prohibited in other languages. So there's a language for every temperament now. For exam
