+CGI::Perljax
+
+Perljax - a perl-specific system for writing AJAX- or
+DHTML-based web applications.
+
+
+Perljax provides a unique mechanism for using perl code
+asynchronously from javascript using AJAX to access user-written
+perl functions/methods. Perljax unburdens the user from having to
+write any javascript, except for having to associate an exported
+method with a document-defined event (such as onClick, onKeyUp,
+etc). Only in the more advanced implementations of a exported perl
+method would a user need to write custom javascript. Perljax supports
+methods that return single results, or multiple results to the web
+page. No other projects that we know of are like Perljax for the
+following reasons: 1. Perljax is targeted specifically for perl
+development. 2. Perljax shields the user from having to write any
+javascript at all (unless they want to).  3. The URL for the HTTP GET
+request is automatically generated based on HTML layout and events,
+and the page is then dynamically updated.  4. Perljax is not part
+of a Content Management System, or some other larger project.
+
+
+INSTALL
+
+perl Makefile.PL
+make
+make test
+make install
+
+*If you are on a windows box you should use 'nmake' rather than 'make'.
+
+Installation will place Perljax into the system perl @INC path, but it
+is important that you make sure mod_perl uses this path (which is
+mod_perl's default behavior, and also assuming you use mod_perl, and
+not just run perl as a CGI).
+
+Example scripts are provided in the source script directory, and can
+also be seen on the project's website, http://www.perljax.us.
