in my opinion it is better to use CSS/HTML and javascript to handle frontend work and perl doing all the backend processing, only generating json data for frontend to parse and display. perl is very good and most things have not changed much: like handling time, text/numeric data, text/database files etc. therefore perl has not changed much. older documentation is still as 'new'
