What you really need is not a "bunch of perl scripts" but a good e-commerce system that is mature and is being actively developed.

You don't want to have to hack everything yourself whenever new e-commerce requirements come along, and you want an active community that is finding and fixing security problems, because you will never be able to manage all of that yourself. You want something that you can just upgrade to the latest version when issues like that come along.

I haven't done a recent store in Perl. For better or worse, most of that stuff is now done in PHP. I have seen Magento recommended as something that works with Perl, though I don't have any experience with it myself.

To a certain extent, I think this depends on how far developed your website is. Are you looking for something to tack on to your site, or are you looking for something as a complete package as the main content management system on your site?

I realize that this is an old thread, but I wanted to mention that SurfShop is now open source. If anyone is looking for a Perl cart, this one may be worth a look.

It looks like it's been awhile since anyone has asked about a Perl shopping cart here, so I just wanted to follow up on my last post to let people know that SurfShop recently released a brand new version that is really nice. It has a new responsive frontend and the perl code has been modernized, as well.

It's still a cgi script, but hey, that just means it's installable on most all shared hosts! ;) However, I have it on good authority that they have plans to rewrite it in Modern Perl and to take this thing places where no other Perl cart has gone before.

Anyway, if you're at all interested in an e-commerce script, you really need to check this new version out. I have never seen another open source cart that looks this nice and that's no exaggeration. To see what I mean, check out the demo on their website.

Hopefully they can attract others to their cause. I do what I can, but at this point, that's pretty limited. Maybe some of the Monks here could see what they can do? I'd really like to see this project take off, as I feel that Perl needs a project like this. I mean, why should PHP have all the fun? ;)

Seriously, I've seen shopping cart attempts come and go in the Perl community in the last 10 years, so it's nice to see someone actually doing something about it.
