Web Frameworks for Perl
tene: I've really enjoyed Catalyst when working with it in the past.  I used it extensively at my previous job, and for a few personal projects.I really like the extensibility of Catalyst.  It's a very Perlish framework.  It's not opinionated.  There are many ways to do things, and if something doesn't work how you want it to, you can easily write a module to do it yourself.  It's designed to be an extensible framework, instead of all-in-one, as many others are.  For example, it was trivial to get all the appropriate ORM magic working with my existing databases with DBIx::Class.  Catalyst really does keep models, views, and controllers separate.  In many other frameworks I've looked at, there are things as absurd as requirements on how your DB tables are named.Another amazing web framework for Perl that doesn't get much media attention is Jifty.  Jifty is absurdly powerful and has scary dark magic, but it's negligibly documented.  Jifty is really my choice for all-in-one perl web framework.  It does everything for you, and then some.  One feature that impressed me is that you can describe your dynamic actions in perl code, and Jifty will automatically fall back to loading a new page with the modification if your browser doesn't support javascript, but will do inplace dynamic updates if you do.  Graceful degradation built in.  I can competently use all of my Jifty apps from elinks or my old treo.  It's still rather opinionated, though.
