NAME¶

Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::ModPerl - Don't use mod_perl to write web applications

DESCRIPTION¶

mod_perl <http://perl.apache.org/> is an embedded Perl interpreter for the Apache <http://www.apache.org/> web server. It allows you to dynamically configure and mod Apache. It is not a generally good solution for writing web applications. Frameworks using Plack (Web::Simple, Dancer2, Catalyst) and Mojolicious are much more flexible, powerful, and stable. A web application written in one of these frameworks can be deployed using a Perl HTTP server such as Starman or Mojo::Server::Hypnotoad; by proxy from Apache or nginx; or even run as if they were regular CGI scripts.

AFFILIATION¶

This policy is part of Perl::Critic::Community.

CONFIGURATION¶

This policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
