copied!<p>I think the Perl web framework with most Rails-like routing would be <a href="http://mojolicious.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Mojolicious</code></a></p> <p>The creator of <a href="http://mojolicious.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Mojolicious</code></a> did write an excellent blog post called "Dispatchers for dummies" comparing the major Perl, Ruby & Python web frameworks and highlighting what he believed were improvements he made with routing on <a href="http://mojolicious.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Mojolicious</code></a>. </p> <p>Unfortunately above post is no longer online :( Instead you have to settle for the <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Mojolicious/lib/Mojolicious/Guides/Routing.pod" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Mojolicious::Guides::Routing</code></a> documentation. Here is a routing example from the docs:</p> <pre><code>package MyApp; use base 'Mojolicious'; sub startup { my $self = shift; # Router my $r = $self->routes; # Route $r->route('/welcome')->to(controller => 'foo', action => 'welcome'); } 1; </code></pre> <p><br> There are also other Perl frameworks which provide direct URL to action routing:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://jifty.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Jifty</code></a> (uses a nice <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Jifty/lib/Jifty/Dispatcher.pm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">routing DSL</a>)</li> <li><a href="http://perldancer.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Dancer</code></a> (Ruby <a href="http://www.sinatrarb.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Sinatra</a>-like)</li> <li><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Mojolicious/lib/Mojolicious/Lite.pm" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Mojolicious::Lite</code></a> (ditto)</li> <li><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Squatting/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Squatting</code></a> (inspired by Ruby <a href="http://www.ruby-camping.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Camping</a>)</li> <li><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Web-Simple/lib/Web/Simple.pm" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Web::Simple</code></a></li> </ul> <p>A more complete list of <a href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?web_frameworks" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Perl web frameworks</a> can be found on the <a href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Perl5 wiki</a></p> <p><br> And if you are framework adverse then take a look at <a href="http://plackperl.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Plack</code></a> (<sup><sub>also see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSGI" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PSGI</a> wikipedia)</sub></sup>. This is same as <a href="http://rack.rubyforge.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Rack</a> on Ruby and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Server_Gateway_Interface" rel="nofollow noreferrer">WSGI</a> on Python.</p> <p>Here is a quick and dirty example of Plack:</p> <pre><code>use 5.012; use warnings; my $app = sub { my $env = shift; given ($env->{PATH_INFO}) { return [ 200, [ 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain' ], [ 'Hello Baz!' ] ] when '/hello/baz'; default { return [ 200, [ 'Content-Type' => 'text/plain' ], [ 'Hello World' ]]; } } } </code></pre> <p>Then use <code>plackup above_script.psgi</code> and away you go.</p>
