Thanks for the summary and look forward to taking some time to re-evaluate Catalyst. Given the many frameworks available just within Perl (ignoring other options like Ruby on Rails) it seems like what users need is some kind of "decision tree" that asks questions like "How many web developers are there?" and "Will you make use of a SQL database?" -- and at the bottom of this tree is the suggested framework to use. :-) In any case, even with a system developed, a second look at Catalyst was always in the back of my mind. Perhaps with this momentum, it's time to actually take a look... Thank you all for the comments and the digression from the original thread; hope MK didn't mind! :-) Ray ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mason-users mailing list Mason-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mason-users
