Dear Eliot, Thank you very much for the info.
Looking at CPAN it seems conceivable the view from Catalyst::View::REST::XML might even suffice, but I guess what we really want is the full-blown Catalyst::Action::Rest (providing Catalyst::Controller::Rest) with the XML::Simple serializer. Do you concur? Catalyst REST dispatcher: http://search.cpan.org/~holoway/Catalyst-Action-REST-0.41/ Catalyst MVC framework: http://www.catalystframework.org/ Of course if LPS really compresses the XML into a binary format then we really want to make a new serializer for OpenLaszlo. Can you describe what this is? Meanwhile I will study the data binding manual and see how it works. If I have time which I don't really.. To tell you the truth, we really need a CPAN module or at least a document on perl and OpenLaszlo to specify what practice you recommend. Does your company have any interest in improving this situation? I'm basically coming back after a year and seeing not much changed in terms of documentation however maybe OpenLaszlo and Catalyst have advanced far enough to mash it together without needing too much hand-holding..? I hope OpenLaszlo can become friendlier to the Perl world. Many thanks for your help on this list.
