If you are new to Perl, we recommend Learn Perl in 2 hours 30 minutes for a quick introduction, or the Modern Perl book, freely available in many formats. Both are excellent introductions to the language. For more books and documentation, check out learn.perl.org.
A really fast and fun way to get started developing web applications with Mojolicious is the Mojolicious::Lite tutorial. Almost everything you learn there can also be applied to normal Mojolicious applications and is considered a prerequisite for the guides. You should definitely take a look!
Starting a Mojolicious::Lite prototype from scratch and growing it into a well structured Mojolicious application.
Simple and fun introduction to the Mojolicious router.
Generating content with the Mojolicious renderer.
Cooking with Mojolicious, recipes for every taste.
Frequently asked questions with the right answers.
Coding guidelines and mission statement. A must read for developers and contributors!
