DESCRIPTION

Poet is a modern Perl web framework designed especially for Mason developers. It uses PSGI/Plack for server integration, Mason for request routing and templating, and a selection of best-of-breed CPAN modules for caching, logging and configuration.

FEATURES

  • A common-sense directory hierarchy for web development

  • A configuration system that scales elegantly with multiple coders and multiple layers (development/production)

  • Integration with Log4perl for logging, wrapped with dead-simple configuration

  • Integration with CHI for powerful and flexible caching

  • The power of Mason, an object-oriented templating system, for request routing and content generation

  • Easy access to common objects and utilities from anywhere in your application

  • Conventions and defaults based on the author's best practices from over fifteen years of Perl web development; and

  • The freedom to override just about any of Poet's behaviors

DOCUMENTATION

All documentation is indexed at Poet::Manual.
