  • 0

I have simple Perl/CGI scripts based web server which is mainly used to display graphs and images. I am looking to make it more technical and come to know about Catalyst. I have installed all the required Perl modules on my test platform and created an application called myweb. Also, I am going through the Catalyst documents to reach my goal but nothing helpful yet.

  1. Is Catalyst helpful to display
    images/graphs on web?
  2. How can I use my existing CGI/Perl
    scritps with Catalyst?

Any example would be really appreciated.

    Is Catalyst helpful to display images/graphs on web?

    Whatever you currently do in your CGI script will also work in same way within Catalyst (view).

    However you can improve/change your method by using an already prescribed Catalyst::View from CPAN.

    How to use my existing cgi/perl scritps with Catalyst?

    You can just embed your CGI script within Catalyst using Catalyst::Controller::CGIBin

    However to get the full benefits of Catalyst MVC then it would be better to rewrite you CGI script into necessary component parts (Model, View & Controller).
