Heh, it takes a lot more than constituent underlying bits. My own take on a MVC-ish framework, such as it is, is MasonX::WebApp. Recently, I've been reconsidering how that's architected, though. It combines a lot of disparate bits under one API, and may be better off broken up into separate re-usable pieces. > Seriously, in your opinion what would it take to get something like that > going?

Just for fun, I recently wrote a small app using Catalyst. I even used DBIx::Class for the model, though haven't used it once I don't think I would want to do so again. I did use Mason for the view, and I really liked some aspects of Catalyst. AFAICT, Catalyst's integration with the model part of the code is somewhat minimal, expect for plugins like Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::DBIC, which I used. It'd be quite easy to plug Alzabo into that sort of framework if I wanted, and if I were to use Catalyst again, that's probably what I'd do. My recommendation would be to use Catalyst or Jifty with Mason. As far as models go, DBIx::Class will probably work for most people, I just have some fundamental disagreements with its assumptions (OT for this list). -dave /*=================================================== VegGuide.Org www.BookIRead.com Your guide to all that's veg.
