What Perl RESTful framework do you recommend?

Question

Hi I'm looking for a Perl RESTful framework that have to :

• work under apache2/mod_perl2
• be simple
• be elegant
• be light
• be flexible

Am I just dreaming or can I avoid the 'Roll our own' approach?

What framework would you recommend?

Answer 1

I've used Dancer (github) for some smaller projects of mine. It's very elegant and very easy to get things done quickly with. It was inspired by the Ruby framework Sinatra.

It's as easy as:

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Dancer;

get '/' => sub {
    'Hello world!'
};

dance;
