Most of my applications are built using Perl and the excellent CGI::Application module/framework.
I've used Dancer a couple of times, but that tends to be for smaller applications, and it has to be said that the last remaining dancer application I used in production was replaced by a port to golang this morning. Partly for a fun learning experience, and partly to simplify deployment.
For new projects, if they were small and self-contained, I'd probably gamble on golang. If they were more complex, or I was in a rush, I'd use Perl.
Mojolicious is my preferred Perl framework.
Except for perhaps an unfortunate name it was an interesting project. I can see that all links to it doesn't work anymore..
My recollection is that modules that are removed from CPAN are still mirrored, so they should still be available, but I admit I've not checked recently.

Why not put it back on Github? I always find it interesting to look on other projects when I have an idea etc. Deprecated or not.
I am getting tired of puppet/ansible and dream of the pure Perl + Shell world I used to live in. :)
