Web::simple provides a bare minimum system for writing web applications that don't need a full-fledged web framework.

the philosophy of web::simple is to keep to an absolute bare minimum, for everything. it is not designed to be used for large scale applications; the catalyst web framework already works very nicely for that and is a far more mature, well supported piece of software.

however, if you have an application that only does a couple of things, and want to not have to think about complexities of deployment, then web::simple might be just the thing for you.
