blockchain Someone ?

dominix has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there any API/Module for Perl to deal with blockchain ?

I've searched on metacpan for blockchain but found nothing, I also searched Github an only find this project

https://github.com/AppCivico/votolegal-api

which is centered on Ethereum but I am looking for something more generic on blockchain.

I guess Perl desserve an entry point for that technology, I'm confortable enought with Perl5 and I am willing to learn Perl6, so any of these Perl will fit, but I'm not experienced enought on that matter to build such a solution by myself. If you have heard of any project of interest in that matter thank for your inputs.

    Which blockchain, the bitcoin blockchain or the generic concept of a blockchain? Seems like there's no readily available documentation for votolegal-api, search results for votolegal are not in English. If you want to work with Bitcoin try Super Search or your favorite search engine.

      Generic concept of a blockchain, basically the one that drive bitcoin, but could be autonomous, or private.

        Sorry it's taken so long to reply, when I've not been very busy I've been distracted. Firstly the Bitcoin isn't as anonymous as people think. Do you really want a private blockchain? If so how will this work? "They are authenticated by mass collaboration powered by collective self-interests" How will you achieve this? I see a lot of posts (especially from marketing people) talking about Bitcoin and Blockchain and often see the same misunderstandings. There is no use Blockchain qw(MyOwnPrivateBlockChain FranksSideChain); one stop solution, because that isn't what the technology delivers. You can interface applications to interact with an existing Blockchain. Are you really looking for something along these lines or do you just want a Distributed_database?

    Crossposting is OK, but it's more polite to announce it to reduce duplicate effort of people not attending both sites.
