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.
