I've used Catalyst for both commercial and personal projects - I've found it well supported and documented and something I can get good results with pretty quickly. I was maintaining Maypole (and using Class::DBI) for several years after Catalyst was released, but now exclusively use Catalyst for web projects where I'm not tied to a legacy codebase that prevents it, and use DBIx::Class both as part of Catalyst projects and other non-catalyst projects. Class::DBI is very simple and get's you into the idea of using an ORM in Perl, but you probably want to pick up DBIx::Class sooner rather than later - it has a steeper learning curve, but is well worth it, and if you have a good understanding of databases you'll find it's able to keep up with you. DBIx::Class is pretty much the de-facto standard ORM for perl these days, there are others that are used, but most job ads will mention DBIx::Class, and the eco-system around it means a lot of support, documentation, examples and plugins. regards, Aaron -- Aaron J Trevena, BSc Hons http://www.aarontrevena.co.uk LAMP System Integration, Development and Consulting _______________________________________________ templates mailing list templates@template-toolkit.org http://mail.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
