The Ultimate Website Framework

TUWF is a very small and lightweight web development framework for Perl. It has evolved from being a few abstraction layers in two large websites to a separate set of modules. While initially designed to be used for large and complex websites, it is also perfectly suited for small single-file websites.

Main features

• Very small, and no extra modules required for the base functionality,
• Easy built-in routing,
• Handy form validation functions,
• Easy XML/HTML generation,
• Response buffering and output compression,
• Easy access to request data,
• Support for CGI, FastCGI and a built-in web server,
• Uses UTF-8 for all text,
• Convenient SQL execution functions and correct transaction handling,
• Open source (duh!) and available under a liberal MIT license.
