    For a web engineer, http://mojolicio.us/ is as hard-hitting a brochure page as I've seen in some time. Built-in long-polling combined with full-stack-style templates and simple views combined with that one line install. Good luck and thank you for this contribution!

    As the article says, Mojolicious was funded in part by a grant from The Perl Foundation.

    If I remember correctly, the vote for it was almost unanimous. (I'm on the grant committee.)

    Highly intriguing. Perl is a solid language that has really held firm ground for scripting but has been over taken by the likes of ruby in the web. Its nice to see the emergence of an mvc framework to help in its popularity and further growth. I for one will definitely be trying this and comparing with my current implementations in ruby.

    I've been looking at Perl frameworks recently, and Dancer in particular. Dancer looks good to me - but so does this. I'd love to see it compared and contrasted to Dancer and Catalyst. Great work!

    How well has the installation process been tested for userland-only (non root) installs?
