How do I use Perl on web servers like PHP?

In PHP, you can just create /var/www/index.php and, given a properly configured server with FPM, it will just work. No separate process to manage, no reverse proxying. And since this is such a common setup, the server configuration is damn-near trivial (for debian you basically have to uncomment a few lines from the default nginx config files).

What is the Perl equivalent of this type of web development? I.e. what lets me just write a file that outputs html, drop it somewhere in the filesystem, and it "just work" without having to worry about anything else? Is there any alternative to CGI.pm?

Yes, I know this is hardly the way-you're-supposed-to-do-it in the 21st century, please skip the lecture.

Can I cook with salsa?

Let's say I made too much salsa and I also happen to have a bench of shredded chicken leftovers. Is it a bad idea to simmer the chicken in the salsa for a bit? Seems like it would be tasty? Is that something that real Mexicans would do?

How to encourage musical development between productions for a 5 year old?

My wife enrolled our 5 year old in a musical class at a local musical production group, mostly on a whim, and he ended up absolutely loving it. He loved singing and dancing from the start, but the older kids (mostly girls) in the production were so nice and supportive of him. You can tell he was having the time of his time during his performances which just ended.

There's a 3 month gap before the next musical (that are in his age-range) and we want to help him get better.... Problem is, neither me nor my wife have theater experience so we don't know where to start. He's a little too young for most dance classes around here. Ditto for singing.

Any ideas highly appreciated, especially things we can do at home.

Am I supposed to have a registration card for a new car purchased on loan less than a year ago?

I just realized that the new car I bought last August on loan doesn't have the registration card... I'm talking about the piece of paper that the sticker comes on. Yes, the permanent license plate that i got in the mail a few months after purchase does have a current sticker.... But I have no recollection whether it already had the sticker when I got it in the mail? Or did I get a separate registration thing in the mail and just forgot to put the paper in the glove box?

I'm in California if that matters

Just wondering if I should pay for a replacement.

Subreddit for homes with crazy, whimsical, or otherwise unconventional things in their front yard?

Examples from my area include: an artist lady that has hundreds on concrete statues scattered throughout her native-plant garden. Another with a bunch of weird Tim Burton-esque dog sculptures. And my personal favorite is a house with log-cabin exterior and chainsaw carvings as fence posts.

Basically I hate the fact that my house looks boring from the outside. Need ideas and inspiration.

Beamer says that if you have a continuous foundation like a slab, you can bolt 2x6s onto the foundation and build a conventional stick framed floor. And then you can timber frame on top of that. The picture shows how you're supposed to do that but I don't understand. What is the block supposed to be? Does it mean that, for a 2x6 floor frame, I am supposed to cut 5.5 inch pieces of 6x6 or 8x8 and shove them (grain oriented vertically) under where I want the timber posts to go?

For Stanley planes, planes made in the 20's and 30's are generally considered better than post war ones, and there are flowcharts online to help identify them easily (mostly patent dates on the sole and other obvious clues). Are there any similar guidelines for choosing millers falls, record, and other planes?

asking because I want a #7 and I'm seeing various non Stanley ones on ebay
