I notice there are a lot of frameworks out there for .NET (eg, .NETNUK), PHP, and Java (eg AppFuse) programmers. These are sets of files that form a typical starter site (or skeleton) that have the basic common features for a web site: (1) cookie/password authentication authorization, send email for forgotten password, (2) file upload, (3) calendar etc...
Are there any such frameworks for perl cgi? I googled for perl cgi framework but could not find any matches. I've been thinking about how to implement authentication and authorization in cgi. At the beginning of every page I have check for a cookie or hidden variable and if there is none, jump to the login page to get the user name and password, post back to login page, to check the username and password, if it is good, redirect myself back to the original page. Hmmm... seems like something someone should have encapsulated by now. And of course, the other pieces are available: I know how to send mail and had the documentation on uploading files.
