I don't have any statistics, but I can tell you that Catalyst handles 50 million pageviews a month for us with just two web-/application-servers and there's still a lot of room (CPU-load peaks at around 2 on a quad-core). Your bottleneck will almost always be your database, most certainly not Catalyst. Comparing Catalyst to other frameworks in a "Hello world"-style benchmark (as has been done by some people in the past) really proves absolutely nothing because your app will probably spend 80% of its time waiting for the database. Catalyst has a lot of pre-built components/plugins that will help you with almost every aspect you'll have to deal with: https://metacpan.org/search?q=catalyst%3A%3Aplugin If you're looking for complete, ready-to-use applications (like Magento) I guess you need to start looking in the direction of PHP because neither Perl nor Python or Ruby offer that much variety there. But if what you want is a custom solution, I can whole-heartedly recommend Catalyst and its ecosystem!
