Just throwing in my two cents: Javascript can run in the backend as well. Take a look at Node.js; http://nodejs.org/
As far as perl on the web end, look into perldancer (http://perldancer.org/), mojolicious (http://mojolicio.us/) or catalyst (http://www.catalystframework.org/) They are all modern MVC web frameworks that should get you up and running quickly. For deployment I would look into PSGI: http://plackperl.org/ Regards, Juan Madrigal Web Developer Web and Emerging Technologies University of Miami Richter Library On 4/26/12 2:19 PM, "Mark Haney" <ma...@abemblem.com> wrote: >On 04/26/2012 08:27 AM, Bob McConnell wrote: >>> From: Mark Haney >>> > >> >> This exposes the source of your confusion.
