Baldrick Application Framework

The Baldrick Application Framework is an incredibly useful set of Perl modules for web developers. Designed to deliver the functionality commonly needed in more complex web apps, this powerful framework provides many key features.

Included in the Baldrick framework are URL-to-handler mapping and resource management via Baldrick::App. User session management is taken care of by Baldrick::Session and Baldrick::FileSession. For user data loading, authentication, login and logout functionality, Baldrick::UserLoader and Baldrick::DBUserLoader are available. Retrieving user request information can be accomplished with Baldrick::Request, while handling user requests and returning a response is simple with Baldrick::Dogsbody.

Formatting output using a template processor is another feature of Baldrick, with Baldrick::TemplateAdapter currently including support for Template Toolkit only. Finally, Baldrick::Stub and Baldrick::Trousers let developers bootstrap the Baldrick libraries.

Overall, Baldrick Application Framework is an indispensable collection of tools for developers making non-trivial web apps. The functionality provided will save time and effort while ensuring a robust, secure web application.
