Hi, While I agree with most of the replies that using a full-featured MVC framework is probably the best way to go in the long run, it might be an overkill at first. If you are just starting to learn Perl coming from a PHP background you might want to take a look at Mason or Embperl: http://www.masonhq.com/ http://perl.apache.org/embperl/ With both of those you can embed Perl code in your HTML just like you do with PHP, so you will change only the scripting language and not the entire philosophy of web development. When you have some experience with Perl then you can experiment with other web frameworks and see what suits you best. Catalyst is the most popular one, other frameworks are available here: http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?web_frameworks Good luck.
