Flash Remoting is a way for Flash movies running in a web browser to request structured data from the web server. The following data types are supported - strings, numbers, dates, arrays, dictionaries/hashes, objects, recordsets. Flash clients talk with the server using the AMF protocol, which is proprietary to Macromedia. However, it's not that hard to decode. Using Flash::FLAP it is possible to send arbitrary data between client and server using very few lines of code. There is no need to pack complicated data structures into CGI form parameteres or XML strings. The coding time can be spent on better things - data preparation and graphical presentation, not data delivery.

Kwiki is perhaps the simplest, most modular and easy to extend wiki. A wiki allows users to freely create and edit web pages in any web browser. Kwiki is Open Source Software and is available on CPAN. The overall design goal of CGI::Kwiki is simplicity and extensibility. Even so, Kwiki will have some killer built in features not available in most wikis: * KwikiSlideShow * KwikiBlog * KwikiSisters * KwikiHotKeys * KwikiFit * KwikiPod * KwikiPrivacy Each feature is implemented as a separate plugin class. This keeps things simple and extensible.

This module has been written to provide a simple and secure manner by which to handle files uploaded in multipart/form-data requests through a web browser. The primary advantage which this module offers over existing modules is the single interface which it provides for the most often required information regarding files uploaded in this manner. This module builds upon primarily the CGI and File::MMagic modules and offers some tidy and succinct methods for the handling of files uploaded via multipart/form-data requests.

CGI::Response is a Perl5 module for constructing responses to Common Gateway Interface (CGI) requests. It is designed to be light-weight and efficient for the most common tasks, and also to provide access to all HTTP response features for more advanced CGI applications. There are two ways to use CGI::Response. For basic applications, the Simple Interface provides a number of plain functions that cover the most commonly-used CGI response headers. More advanced applications may employ the Full Interface object methods to access any HTTP header, or to add experimental or non-standard headers. Both interfaces try to generate reasonable defaults whenever possible.

"CGI::Session" is Perl5 library that provides an easy persistent session management system across HTTP requests. Session persistence is a very important issue in web applications. Shopping carts, user-recognition features, login and authentication methods and etc. all require persistent session management mechanism, which is both secure and reliable. "CGI::Session" provides with just that. You can read the whole documentation as a tutorial on session management. But if you are already familiar with "CGI::Session" go to the methods section for the list of all the methods available.

[simple | small | shell] web server sws was born out of a project requirement for a small universal Web server that could run on any POSIX platform to serve static content. Since it is written in /bin/sh it should run on any BSD/GNU-Linux/Unix system. It has been tested on FreeBSD, Solaris, and Debian GNU/Linux. Installation consists of putting the program somewhere, making it executable, creating the document directory, and creating an entry in inetd.conf. sws requires /bin/sh, dirname, cat, and date to function. These should be found on any modern POSIX system.

The Session plugin is the base of two related parts of functionality required for session management in web applications. The first part, the State, is getting the browser to repeat back a session key, so that the web application can identify the client and logically string several requests together into a session. The second part, the Store, deals with the actual storage of information about the client. This data is stored so that the it may be revived for every request made by the same client. This plugin links the two pieces together.

HTML::FormFu is a HTML form framework which aims to be as easy as possible to use for basic web forms, but with the power and flexibility to do anything else you might want to do (as long as it involves forms). You can configure almost any part of formfu's behaviour and output. By default formfu renders "XHTML 1.0 Strict" compliant markup, with as little extra markup as possible, but with sufficient CSS class names to allow for a wide-range of output styles to be generated by changing only the CSS.

The HTML::Summary module produces summaries from the textual content of web pages. It does so using the location heuristic, which determines the value of a given sentence based on its position and status within the document; for example, headings, section titles and opening paragraph sentences may be favoured over other textual content. A LENGTH option can be used to restrict the length of the summary produced. This distribution contains the HTML::Summary module, and some supporting modules. The full list of modules is: HTML::Summary Text::Sentence Lingua::JA::Jcode Lingua::JA::Jtruncate

HTML::TagParser is a pure Perl implementaion for parsing HTML files. This module provides some methods like DOM. This module is not strict about XHTML format because many of HTML pages are not strict. You know, many pages use <br> elemtents instead of <br/> and have <p> elements which are not closed. This module natively understands a character set of document by reading its meta element. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Shift_JIS"> The parsed document's encoding is converted as this class's fixed internal encoding "UTF-8".
