I'm curious... With all the buzz about MVC frameworks now, what does Perl have for this? The only two that I'm aware of are Gantry and Catalyst (Catalyst appears to be more complete)--are there others? And which one would be considered the defacto standard (most widely used or accepted)?
The Perl motto is "There's More Than One Way To Do It," and that applies to web application frameworks as much as anything else. The Perl attitude is quite different from, say, the Ruby community where there is but One True MVC, and It is Rails. Catalyst probably has the largest following, but it's far from being the "standard." My personal favorite Maypole, which is the project Catalyst forked from. It's a straight MVC with none of the built-in servers, "helper scripts" and other nonsense that boggs MVCs built on the Rails model.
