KRL is a novel, cloud-based rule language for the Internet of Things (IoT) implemented in Perl as an Apache module. KRL is an event-based language with persistent variables that supports asynchronous interaction. Perl's flexibility and large module library make it a great choice for language implementation. Using Apache as the application server saves having to develop numerous support functions. This talk discusses the nature of KRL and its use in IoT applications, the pros (and cons) of using Perl to implement languages, and how we use mod_perl. We discuss lessons learned, missteps, and future enhancements.
