Quite honestly, I think that right now you are “stuck” by wanting to “move forward right now” when ... quite understandably, actually ... you have no idea either where exactly you are going, or what sort of technology might take you there. It’s like you’ve stumbled onto a Sears & Roebuck Catalog full of all sorts of tasty-looking things and you just want to order all of them and “have a go” at making something work. What I cordially suggest that you do right now is to stop. Spend at least today, maybe a couple additional days, “surfing the net” to carefully(!) read several articles regarding each of the technologies that you have listed in your OP, but refusing to treat any of them as a white-rabbit begging to be chased. You can start chasing rabbits again, say, next Thursday. Not sooner. You need to be sure you know, for instance, just how “vanilla CGI” works. You need to have a notion of what content-management systems (Dancer, Drupal, Catalyst, what-have-you) do, and when they are (and aren’t) called-for in a project. You need to understand what templating systems do, and where and how they can be useful for preparing HTML or other content. You need to know what nginix does. I consider it highly doubtful that you will actually need to delve into either FastCGI or mod_perl for this project, given that neither you nor I understand, at this point, what the project needs to be. Gather information, without chasing rabbits. Then, make a plan for how you will go about catching the little white-haired beast. Now, when you walk out into that field again, you’ll come home with dinner.
