Re: Is perl cgi a right choice for E-Commerce

[sundialsvc4]

Before diving too deeply into whether to use mod_perl or Plack, I suggest that you thoroughly research the very-large field about e-commerce sites in general.   It sounds to me like you are considering starting from scratch, and that is a mistake today.   Quite frankly, there are now so many good vendors out there, who will take care of messy issues like PCI compliance on your behalf, that (up to an obvious and easily-understood point...) I seriously question the wisdom of building anything “new.”
