Hi, daily traffic: 20,000 - 100,000 unique sessions (medium sites) => Php + an efficient caching system => modperl, but not based on Mason or such "application toolkits" I don't agree: I had a website running with 20.000 visitors/day, build with Mason (MasonX::Webapp), split into 180 fronte

From: "Chris Prather" Perl is a funny animal. It doesn't have a formal support for interfaces, but it suppports multiple class inheritance. It also has - for a very long time now - support for closures, which I find very interesting (few Java developers even heard of it). Moose supports Roles

Great to hear that! My experience, that programs written in application frameworks usually take more memory and CPU resources to run, is based on old versions. The new ones may have been improved very much in this area. PV On Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 1:21 AM, Rolf Schaufelberger wrote: > Hi, > > d
