One-page app. using Ajax/JSON.

Server side is mod_perl 2.x, Apache (configured variously for proxy, 
static content and mod_perl) and MySQL. Code is OO and uses persistent 
objects. No frameworks or much use of CPAN modules other than DBI.

Cient interface is assembled entirely on client, using JavaScript and 
DOM. This frees up server from having to do any interface generation.

Regardless of request type (POST/GET etc), the server response is in the 
form of JavaScript object(s) (really just a plain text string), which is 
'eval'ed by JavaScript on the client.
