Pop it up on Github, You Git people :) I suppose it is about time I moved from SVN to Git I am just not as well versed on Git and am a tad uncomfortable Should I do something wrong and some poor soul tries to use it and gets all messed up, I would feel quite bad Although, I assume the branching and such is basically the same

What's nice about it, is you could branch my repo, make your changes, and have that available for people to use instead, rather than just have a patch floating around You can ask me to push the changes to my repo, or even pull in the changes I make, keep your branch, current with my own, while still retaining your changes git is way easier than cvs and I'm guessing, svn

I'm not sure I would pull in this change, although I'd like to enhance Dada Mail in a similar fashion: what needs to happen is to give the user a choice of the type of data they want to collect, as well as how to collect the data (form widget), as well as a bunch of niceties, like making things required, ranges of data allowed, etc

Yup, quite a bit Probably CGI::Application to start, then over to Mojolicious Mojolicious looks interesting Morbo and Hypnotoad Futurama fans ya think? Back in the day I did a lot with mod_perl and HTML::Mason I loved the asynchronous request handler capability in mod_perl To tell you the truth, I didn’t realize there was still a perl framework community out there

Yeah, there's a ton,

Dancer, Catalyst - even Mason's been updated recently A lot of the PSGI/Plack stuff gives you the goodness of mod_perl, without needing to be so tied into Apache The web server can literally be swapped out (use what you want/need, depending)

What's keeping me is the investment in time - it's going to be a lot of work I definitely understand that I had actually toyed with trying to convert DaDa to php using something like the Yii Framework, which I would hand to you since the app is yours and I have no desire to steal someone's work

I mean, that'd be fine Open Source, and all

Also, The database abstraction/ORM stuff in perl does not appear to be as well developed as the newer languages which is probably good because one gets SQL-lazy with stuff like ActiveRecord, PDO, and Hibernate

You'll want this,

As far as I understand, it's quite good, and it's been around for quite a while,
