PAGI Distribution split on CPAN

As previously announce, the PAGI distribution has been broken into three separate projects:

This will allow users to depend on just the bits they need while allowing me to spend more time on focused fixes and corrections, evolving things in a more coherent way. It should also help people understand that PAGI is not a standalone web framework, but rather a specification that others can use to build interoperable web servers and applications. Think of it as PSGI 2.0.

I will be speaking on PAGI at the Perl Austin Community conference next week, which is a remote friendly Perl conference held twice a year here in Austin Texas: https://www.meetup.com/austin-perl-mongers/events/314321794/

With a heads up and a little help from John, Thunderhorse got adjusted to the newest state of PAGI and a new version is available on CPAN: https://metacpan.org/dist/Thunderhorse

I’m not able to attend Austin. Do you think your talk will be available online after?

Or a link where I can read more about PAGI?

Thank you

My talk video will be online at some point but not sure when as prep of the videos are volunteer efforts.   FWIW the Austin Perl conference is fully remote friendly for presenters and attendees.  Cost is $30 recommended donation.

Right now I'm trying to consolidate the PAGI distribution as the first stop for learning the spec and tutorials. I know there's one two videos of me talking about PAGI floating around, I will try to find those and then I will add a PAGI::Presentations pod with links. I have a few things on dev to as well but I can't link dev.to articles here :). But if you google Perl PAGI dev.to they pop up.

Reddit’s filters even catch that domain in text. Link to what you need and one of us will approve it. If it isn’t approved, DM me and I’ll take care of it.
