Modern Web Development in Perl

Perl is not dying; in fact, it's quite alive and well in 2024! It's stable, battle-tested, and offers backwards compatibility as a feature. With a mature toolchain, strong testing culture, and robust web frameworks, Perl not only offers developers a great option for building applications, but provides a model for other languages and frameworks to aspire to. In this talk, Jason Crome will convince you that Perl is still a great option for building new projects, and demonstrate how easy it is to build a database-enabled web application with Dancer, a premiere Perl web framework.
