I am building a simple web tool for a client. It will query a database and display some data. They will be able to search, sort, etc., so a simple javascript tool can handle the display. I want to use perl on the back end, as I have done in other situations. It has been suggested that I implement it via REST and then I can add new features fairly easily (this client likes to request that).
I've read modern ways of doing web services. I've also read Apache2::REST. I don't see many servers using the latter, even though it looks good. Is something better? I don't want to do it all from scratch, of course.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
