It is a minimalistic module for use primarily with CGI.pm and you probably should not be using CGI.pm.

There's a Catalyst-Manual distro on CPAN with a manual and a tutorial: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Catalyst-Manual/ In addition to Catalyst, you may wish to check out Dancer: http://perl-begin.org/uses/web/#dancer Regarding HTML-Template - I would strongly recommend against it. I don't like it and it has gone unmaintained for some time (though there are some active clones on CPAN). I much prefer Template-Toolkit , and there are other alternatives like ClearSilver or HTML-Mason.
