  If you Perl or you're Perl-curious, or you build command-line interfaces, you should read this, but before we dive in building the command-line application, lets first talk about the command line.

  Command-line programs have been with us s…

  Mojolicious is a full-stack web framework and damn fast as a cgi-script.

  Can you provide some numbers or benchmarks?

  I tried the Mojo hello world described in its Synopsis:

  use Mojo::Base 'Mojo';
  
  # All the complexities of CGI, PSGI, HTTP and WebSockets get reduced to a
  
  # single method call!
  
  sub handler {
  
      my ($self, $tx) = @_;
  
      # Request
  
      my $method = $tx->req->method;
  
      my $path   = $tx->req->url->path;
  
      # Response

No, may be, or not, (Uglyness for me is bad structured and modularized code) but Perl is so far the most flexible language that I learn. I still study Software Engineering course based (with small things about Computer Science) here in the Brazil. My Intro to Development Web teacher was working with Perl in the 90’s years, but now he is work with C# (He was work with too, before, Assembly, Fortran, Cobol, C, etc…, good people).…
