CGI::Perljax

Perljax - a perl-specific system for writing AJAX- or

DHTML-based web applications.

Perljax provides a unique mechanism for using perl code

asynchronously from javascript using AJAX to access user-written

perl functions/methods. Perljax unburdens the user from having to

write any javascript, except for having to associate an exported

method with a document-defined event (such as onClick, onKeyUp,

etc). Only in the more advanced implementations of a exported perl

method would a user need to write custom javascript. Perljax supports

methods that return single results, or multiple results to the web

page. No other projects that we know of are like Perljax for the

following reasons: 1. Perljax is targeted specifically for perl

development. 2. Perljax shields the user from having to write any

javascript at all (unless they want to). 3. The URL for the HTTP GET

request is automatically generated based on HTML layout and events,

and the page is then dynamically updated. 4. Perljax is not part

of a Content Management System, or some other larger project.

INSTALL

perl Makefile.PL

make

make test

make install

*If you are on a windows box you should use 'nmake' rather than 'make'.

Installation will place Perljax into the system perl @INC path, but it

is important that you make sure mod_perl uses this path (which is

mod_perl's default behavior, and also assuming you use mod_perl, and

not just run perl as a CGI).

Example scripts are provided in the source script directory, and can

also be seen on the project's website, http://www.perljax.us.
