@negative12dollarbill @Npazo What they mean is that “runs on #Apache and #Perl” isn’t specific enough to offer a recommendation. Is the web app using #CGI or the #mod_perl extension to Apache httpd? Does it rely on custom additions to the Apache configuration? etc.
You can try using #PSGI as @ovid suggested, but there may be more work involved and I don’t know how familiar you are with the app you inherited.

@smxi @RL_Dane @benjaminhollon @sotolf People who think #PHP is an odd dialect of #Perl can’t get past the variable sigils.
As for why #PHP took off it was simple: it provided a sandboxable #Apache #httpd extension that web hosts felt comfortable opening to users. Perl only had #mod_perl which gave you *everything* Apache could do without restriction.
