I'm glad to see Rails get the publicity and grow the fastest in history

But I'm *VERY* sad to see Tim O'Reilly continue to turn his back on Perl

After all, he employs many Perl celebrities (Gnat, etc.) (Larry still??)

Depressing.

I was discussing this very topic on the Catalyst IRC last night, and someone 
suggested that a Catalyst book was turned down at O'Reilly due to "not enough 
interest". Maybe there's not enough interest because not enough people know 
about it, including Tim!

I'd love to see the Perl community rally around _something_   Catalyst or 
Maypole or anything really, at a time when our numbers could be an advantage. 
But without the support of O'Reilly or ourselves, these apps will be slow to 
grow. 

Are we not marketing ourselves enough in front of Tim or whomever ?
Ideas??

    Ruby on Rails is indeed ... the driver of the interest in Ruby,
    which, after all, has been around for years without generating the
    kind of surge it's seen in the past six months. But as you can
    see, we're on the fence about whether or not Python has an answer
    to RoR (and we're not even asking the question about Perl!)

Why, oh why, isn't he asking the same question about Perl?
