I am a begginer in Catalyst and I have been reading and learning about Perl this year (and maybe I am almost intermediate). When I say that I use Perl, forgivinf the people that don't know what is that, say: "Perl, that old language?". As some of you said before, this is not true por the people inside the Perl community. I don't start in Perl because I visited a good website, or a good documentation. I started using it to make scripts to control functions in some servers. Then, I discovered the power of the language and I am trying to learn as much as I can.
But the people outside the perl community need something to atract them. Look at rails website. On the home, you can see some websites where it is used. Catalyst need a section like "Get excited", because people don't want to learn a language to discover if it's good or not. They will try to get some informationg about it first. Most of people don't like or even don't know Perl, so they don't have something real. Some nice videos explaining nice features and how it works, will promote Catalyst and Perl to people outside the community. That's the opinion of a novice. -- Renan
