The document announces that the author has written a book called "Perl Web Book" to address the misinformation around modern web development techniques in Perl. It aims to cover topics like PSGI/Plack, Web::Simple, Mojolicious, Dancer and Catalyst. The book will be freely available online and through Amazon. The author hopes to have it completed in time for the next London Perl Workshop and seeks help, advice, suggestions and reviewers for the project.
