% The Ultimate Website Framework
TUWF is a very small and lightweight web development framework for Perl. It has evolved from being a few abstraction layers in two large websites to a separate set of modules. While initially designed to be used for large and complex websites, it is also perfectly suited for small single-file websites.
Project status: TUWF has been superseded by FU and is no longer being developed. It's still passively maintained for those who prefer a smaller pure-Perl framework.
Main features
- Very small, and no extra modules required for the base functionality,
