Meeting recap:

DateTime module is a must for date time stuff. Also using UTC as way
to store time stamps in a database.
DataTables is easy to setup and has better documentation/examples than
SlickGrid. [http://datatables.net]

PAR::* is broken, and I would use it more if it worked. Use
Cava::Packager if you need something that will work, it produce a
single executable that is self extracting. Then you are able to run
the exe from the bin directory. I am not sure if there is a way to
just say program.exe -pass_to_packed_program and have it extract to a
temp directory on the fly then run and clean up after running.

knockoutjs.com is a nice framework to build forms dynamically.

CPAN::Mini + CPAN::Mini::Inject + Plack::App::Directory = easy CPAN
mirror for Windows OSes to share your work if not releasing to CPAN.

WSGI/Plack is the new awesomeness in web dev. Plack is based on WSGI
(python) and Rack (ruby). Also found after meeting Dancer apps are
already plack compatible so I can just plackup!
