Yeah, I’ve looked at Mojo, but for what we’re doing it’s still a bit heavyweight. Thanks to this article on the memory footprint of CPAN modules, I discovered CGI::Simple which should do enough of what we need to allow this project to move forward.

This is a really simple webapp though; in the future our more complicated administrative interface will need to move to FastCGI away from mod_perl2, so we’ll look at Mojo or HTTP::Engine again then.

Before you start writting your own HTTP::Engine::Simple, take a look at Mojo (I recommend that you use the git version, a new release is imminent and it is much niceier).

Not only it has zero dependencies (which seems something that you need), it also is the most HTTP spec compliant stack on CPAN.

Even better: it includes a full MVC Web framework with modern dispatching.

I use it at $work.
