PayProp chose Perl over twenty years ago when they bootstrapped their business. Today the backend is still Perl, but has changed. This is a short talk about how we are modernising the stack and contributing back to open source software.
A short talk about some of the tools and techniques PayProp are using to modernise their Perl stack, including some of the issues and challenges. The areas covered will include:
- Moving from a CGI.pm based framework to Mojolicious
- Adding an ORM and business objects, via DBIx::Class and Moose
- Refactoring existing functionality with help from regression tests
- Contributing and maintaining distributions on CPAN
- Hiring developers and introducing them to Perl
