new to perl and i have a decent little adventure game that is console based which consists of a main.pl and then about 5 perl modules which contain my objects - Room, Character, Weapon, etc (also using Moose).

i'd like to convert it to a html version - where the info displays in html form - a user clicks a new room or action and based off the click maybe a url param is passed and then and new text is displayed. something simple.

i'm much, much more familiar with java and in which case I would just use JSP.

so...i have apache2 and mod_perl. and in doing some research it seems like Template Toolkit might help me achieve this goal as well. at the moment i have a mod_perl.conf


PerlModule Perl::Lib::Game::Hello
PerlModule CGI

<Location /game>
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Game::Hello
</Location>

which helps me render this simple module.

package Game::Hello;
use Apache2::Const -compile => qw(OK);
  
  sub handler {
     my $r = shift;
     $r->content_type('text/html');
     $r->print("<html><body>Hello World!</body></html>\n");
     return Apache2::Const::OK;
   }
  
  1;

if i visit localhost/game - this of of course produces 'Hello World!'. where i am lost is how to fit all the pieces together...i've read about TT and mod_perl and apache2...but I really can't figure out how fit the pieces of the puzzle together. if someone has a simple example that would help tremendously.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
