Hi Khabazela,

As you will not be running Perl on the mobile but on the server side you
should be fine.
The way it is normally done you use CGI for all your server side jobs such
as keeping track of sessions, entering data in databases or other content
stores, sending out mails etc, etc, etc. The end user gets to see a nice
page with html, css and javascript that does all the funky ajax stuff (which
calls your server side script written in perl) to spice things up a bit.

It is no different then creating something like this with PHP, VB, J2EE or
any other server side language. Even the techniques used to communicate
between the javascript on the customer side and the code on the server side
will be the same. So much so that you can use things like jQuery or GWT on
the client side and implement the server side in Perl without the user
noticing the difference.

There are lots of examples but looking at what you are building I would
advise having a look at a lot of the security related examples as well
things that explain how your side can be hacked sessions taken over and
information from users copied as most examples you will find online seem to
completely ignore the security aspect of building a website which in your
case could cause serious problems.

Regards,

Rob
