[ic] Draft for Abstract about "Modern PerlCommerce" presentation

[Gert van der Spoel]

> Hello, Interchange enthusiasts!
> 
> I submitted the following abstract to the YAPC::Europe conference and

> 
> --snip--
> Interchange is a Open Source eCommerce software written before the advent
> of any modern Perl.
> Thus we implemented a lot of things like running a server, dispatching,
> parameter parsing, session handling and templating.
> 
> We decided to reduce the source code drastically by using modules from
> CPAN like Dancer, PSGI
> and Template::Flute instead of our own custom code. Interchange will
> become a collection of a few base modules
> providing an API for carts, payment, shipping and access control which can
> be extended easily with plugins.
> 
> This provides you with a solid, fast, simple and flexible platform for
> your online business based on modern Perl,
> which is going to be demonstrated during the presentation.


I assume that the people visiting these events are perl programmers in their
core fashion and not e-commerce shop owners. So 'for our online business'
I'd probably have said a bit different, like:

This provides you with a solid, fast, simple and flexible platform for
creating e-commerce sites based on modern Perl, ...

Good luck :)
