I would also prefer a deeper explanation to a cookbook, though the cookbook is occasionally quite handy. How the framework works with existing applications - mod_perl, fastcgi (pros and cons), interfacing to web services, problems with forking. Reading the used code is sometimes necessary but also much more tedious, e.g. going through SOAP::Lite which I'd like to use at the moment from the framework. -- Radek _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
