Perl for web development

It's definitely possible, by the way, about 10 or 15 years ago it was heavily used on the web. At that time it was called the server-side part of CGI scripts, which were largely Perl scripts.

I think if you're familiar with the UNIX environment, and with language, you will not have too many problems.

As for efficiency compared to other languages, I'm not familiar with any field in which Perl excels at performance.

But I think it's totally valid if it's a small / personal project of yours and Perl is a language you like or want to learn.

For larger systems, I recommend taking a look at Django or other popular platforms, it will make life easier if you need to hire programmers .

Yes, it is possible to develop in Perl for WEB. The biggest benefit is the modules available in CPAN as an aid to a huge amount of problems already solved. Even for object orientation, you have several options like Moose, Class :: Tiny or Moo.

Like other languages, Perl is in active development, and by the end of the year it is planned to release Perl6, keeping Perl5, as separate projects, almost as distinct languages.

As for the language to be used, except in very special cases like Erlang, they will not solve problems in a particular way. Here is another question of opinion and ecosystem that you like. There are similar solutions when working with PHP, Ruby, Perl or Python.

In the Perl ecosystem, you find three main frameworks currently:

• Catalyst
• Mojolicious and Mojolicious :: Lite
• Dancer2

There are other options, but these three are the benchmarks in the community.
