enlightened perl organisation

I think one of the problems is the "god" complex many programmers seem to have. Whether it be too look down on other programming languages, writing documentation, teaching beginnings, what operating system you use, design, etc... it all comes down to [...]

Enough broad strokes; let's try and itemise this thing.

The repository, the branch, the manifesto

I’m very happy to announce the first alpha release of Mango, a new pure-Perl non-blocking I/O MongoDB client, and the latest Mojolicious spin-off project.

If you’ve ever worked with the official MongoDB driver for Perl, you’re probably wel [...]

It fills me with great joy to announce the release of Mojolicious 3.0 (Rainbow).

This marks the first major release for our newly formed core team, consisting of Glen Hinkle, Marcus Ramberg, Abhijit Menon-Sen and yours truly. A lot has happened during [...]

A lot has changed in the world of cloud hosting since the last time i took a closer look at one of the providers. Almost all of them support Perl these days, directly or indirectly. One of the most prominent ones is Heroku, and today we are going to [...]

Ever since we added AnyEvent support to Mojolicious through EV, it has been a very popular feature. But so far it required Mojolicious to be in control of the event loop, which limited its usefulness quite a bit. That has changed now, both our web se [...]

If you’ve ever been wondering how a well designed DBIx::Class model for Mojolicious and Mojolicious::Lite applications would look like, Glen Hinkle got you covered with his latest release.

The example application demonstrates DBIx::Class integration [...]

Merry christmas everyone, today Glen “tempire” Hinkle has a special treat for us. In this Mojocast he demonstrates why interacting with the web from Perl has never been this much fun before, you should take a look!

Happy Mojocast monday everyone. This time Glen “tempire” Hinkle will explain to you the very important task of sharing data between the various parts of a Mojolicious application. So, what are you waiting for? Get over there and learn web development [...]

I’m very happy to announce the release of Mojolicious 2.0 (Leaf Fluttering In Wind).

It is now almost a year since our first stable release, and what a great year it has been. The community really exploded, with now over 100 regulars on the IRC channe [...]

Today we are going to use the Mojolicious user agent to scrape Perl headlines from Reddit, and then transform them further with collections, another one of our latest experimental features.

Have fun!

In Mojolicious we care a great deal about testing, after all most of Mojolicious itself was developed using test driven development. Recently WebSockets have turned out to be a real challenge in this regard, their extremely dynamic nature makes it pr [...]

Sooner or later most web developers stumble over one not so insignificant weakness of CSS3 Selectors, you can’t select parent elements. So while you can select img elements with an a parent, you can’t select a elements with an img child.
