Jayce asked me to send out a note about my topic. Originally, this was just going to be a NUPM presentation, but it's a little bigger than that and Joe (redbeard1) said his Awstats presentation was likely to be relatively short, so there will be bleedover between NUPM and PLUG. Feel free to show up at 6:30 or 7:30. I'll try to create some logical break in the presentation so anyone showing up at 7:30 isn't lost.
I'll be talking about Catalyst - the magical web application development framework for Perl. You can read about it at <http://www.catalystframework.org/>. Catalyst heavily leverages the wealth of code available via CPAN to provide programmers with a simple-to-work-with scaffolding with lots of bells and whistles available. Because of the reliance on CPAN, getting Catalyst installed on a system can be quite a chore - There are dozens of Perl modules that must be installed. I'll talk about methods of installing the modules required to go through the official Catalyst tutorial and then I'll demonstrate how I use yum repositories and the 'cpan2rpm' utility to install the required Perl modules as packages for Fedora Core 5. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] is Doran L.
