Perl Mongers, It's my first message and after my first meeting. It was very informative. I like the technical level and openness of discussion.
Something I'm wondering about is why a Zope-like application framework (or whatever the buzzword) wasn't built for Perl. I think Perl is well-known for being a web-friendly language, and we have all the CPAN modules, so it seems weird. Maybe nobody thought about it as they were doing fine with CGI and mod_perl. Also, there is a similar technology to Zope, the arsDigita Community System (aD is gone, you might've heard) which has an OpenACS version. I've used that a little, and actually it's nice in that the application objects are done using PostgreSQL's version of PL/SQL. Downside is it uses Tcl (and AOLserver). I wonder if something like Zope has been done using AxKit. It seems Zope uses/is a custom XSLT (plus a lot of application object data).
