This is a great article on simplicity and Unix. Very relivent to anyone that wants to understand Perl.

Mojolicious is Delicious

I've been working on a new website for a charitable business called HarrysButtons.com. I've been using Mojolicious as my web framework. I started off using Catalyst but I thought it was too heavy for my purposes, and the dependencies are killer on windos^h^h^hdows.


  • Perl

  • Templating System

  • Small

  • Few Depenencies

  • Lightweight

The framework doesn't get in the way. It also doesn't shove paradigms down your throat …

Why PHP sucks.

  • No lambda functions/subroutines.
  • == vs. ===
  • 5 bazillion functions imported by default in top level Namespace
  • The lanugage comunity is esentialy the VB6/JavaScript community -- Well at least JavaScript has clean semantics.

In other words php is not the market we want to go after.
I'm just saying that php is not a good model to base a language off of, except for ease of configuration.
