facebook apps in perl

Give in to PHP + SQL. Tons of documentation IMHO.
Yes, probably not the answer you where looking for.
PS. Need a PHP & SQL programmer hit me up, I may take on a project related to this.
PPS. No one develops in perl for Facebook, hence the reason there's no code for it. Seriously, give the fuck up.

Really depends on what you need. If it were truly silly, there'd be no reason for Perl, Python, Cold Fusion, ASP, etc.
ORLY?

erl - Facebook Developer WikiSo that's not a Facebook API for Perl?
Sample Sniplet as provided by Facebook
Code:
# Retrieve Data stored in key value pairs in
# comment blocks within the FBML of a user's
# profile box.
sub getData {
my $id = shift;
my %data;
$_ = $fbk->profile->get_fbml(uid => $id);
while ( /<!--(.*)-->/g ) {
$_ = $1;
while ( /(\S+)\s+(\S+)/g ) {
$data{$1} = $2;
}
}
return %data;
}That's not my point, just because there's and API doesn't mean anyone really uses it for Perl. Which in turn means your going to find about no help for it what-so-eva.
And I was incredibly plastered when I wrote it.
ROFL, I figured by now you had someone else do it. Get a hold of me, I have time to throw my ninja skills at it if you still want it done.
WTF are you talking about? Perl has been around a lot longer than PHP. Slashdot runs off mod perl!
well like everything else it has a nice little easy to use cpan module. Problem is there is very little documentation for it and the few example codes out there on using it are wrong and not only don't work but are full of syntax errors which make it very difficult to figure out what they did wrong. So at this point i'm stuck guessing and checking everything trying to just throw commands out there and perldumping all the results trying to workout what is what and what and see if i can figure out what inputs are what. I figure if i can find one person who has done it before this will save me a shitton of time.
I'm very determined, not giving up on this and yes I know php I'm just not experienced enough with it to start cranking out these apps once i figure out the facebook portion and thats the end game.

php is great as a first language, and for portability/support. it has the benefit of being the most popular web language, and so most common web tasks are extremely well documented. but if you already know another language, i would learn anything but php. learning any other language will increase your skill as a programmer; learning php will accustom you to odd conventions and bad practices.
perl is also pretty great for cpan, but lacks the "hotness" factor. picking a popular language is an important part of finding relevant example code on the internet. you could write it in brainfuck, but where would you go with questions?
