I just don't like Rails because everyone is hyping it as a "the next and best new thing", whereas MVC-based framework models have been around for awhile. To tell you the truth I haven't tried it yet so I can't give an unbiased opinion at the moment. I would be interested in seeing a comparison however. I like Catalyst because a) it's Perl, b) it's self-sufficient (has it's own server for testing and development), c) its configuration is in Perl, d) it accepts regex's as url listeners, e) I like the maintainer's name, and f) it's Perl. There's a good article by Jesse Sheidlower, the maintainer/pump king of Catalyst explaining how to get an AJAX-based WIKI up in 30 lines of code that to me explains it all: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2005/06/02/catalyst.html Jesse .-----------------------------------. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `-----------------------------------'
