Whatever RIA framework you choose, it will probably work fine with Catalyst. I'm using View::JSON for communication back and forth with my Ajax-y interface.
Personally, I like using a combination of YUI, jQuery, and Jemplate. jQuery is a nice glue framework that makes accessing/manipulating the DOM really easy. YUI is a robust framework with *oodles* of documentation and examples. It has really nice, high quality widgets (autocomplete, logger, tester, menu) and some great .css assets. YUI also has a strong focus on cross-browser compatibility. Jemplate is a great tool for browser-side template rendering. It's basically TT (Template Toolkit) for javascript. Instead of rendering html by using string concatenation (var el = "<select " + name + ...) you can put all that into templates. The above combination gives a lot of freedom in terms of the look & feel of your web application. You can add interactivity to a basic looking web page or even implement a complex gmail-ish interface. As an aside, I've never been much attracted to hoisting a desktop look & feel (dialog boxes, lots of windowy widgets) into the browser. Finally, I've tangled with ExtJS a little bit, but I always feel like I'm groping around in the dark with their documentation. There's lots of API-type documentation but it could use a ton more .pm-style SYNOPSISes.
