Hello Jörg, three questions -- there already seems to be a GX framework for JS animation: http://gx.riccardodegni.net/ http://code.google.com/p/gxframework/ Aren't you affraid of namespace clash? The tutorial is nice but it's mostly a get-mod_perl-running tutorial -- the resulting application is what seems to be just a static welcome.html there. Any more complex example application, showing some Perl code executed, and database accessed? The GX man page it lacking the relationship explanation as well. Can you provide some high level comparison to (say) Catalyst? Surely there was a reason to come up with yet another web application framework, so what are the selling points? Thanks, -- Jan Pazdziora
