Great CPAN modules released last week

Interesting that one of the modules is a statically typed perl dialect(?)

There was a solid talk on Modern Web Development with Perl in August.

What a blast from the past - the CGI library is still receiving some love...

I found myself working on a CGI script just last week. Last year I was asked to patch a production CMS that was just a giant collection of CGI scripts.
This stuff is still out there and when it's done well, it "just works". I'm not saying CGI is the future, but I did find it refreshing to edit a script and then have the change immediately available without waiting for some daemon to restart/reload.

  All I hear when somebody says “Lambda” is “CGI”

  Preach. CGI made the web dynamic. Before this, it was just a libary.

Whats important, its only 'love' a.k.a. no major API change twice a year, as in many of those 'modern' languages.
And its no past for me !-)

Perl lives!
