markl_ | so while I'm on the subject, is there a good perl HTML framework similar to what CakePHP is to PHP ? |
markl_ | like an MVC style environment |
markl_ | so I'm wondering if mason is "state of the art" or if there are other tools to consider these days :) |
DrForr | Catalyst. |
markl_ | catalyst ok, cool ty |
rindolf | markl_: there are plenty of other web-devel frameworks. |
rindolf | perlbot: web frameworks |
perlbot | rindolf: CGI-Application (and Titanium), CGI-Application-Plus, CGI-Builder, CGI-Prototype, Jifty, Catalyst (and Reaction), Mojo, SweetPea, Dancer, Gantry, AxKit, WebGUI |
markl_ | rindolf: hmm, way too many it would appear :) |
rindolf | markl_: yeah. |
markl_ | what are the easiest ones for people good with perl but not HTML/CSS/AJAX experts ? |
rindolf | markl_: not that Ruby or PHP have fewer. |
markl_ | or the most widely adopted one ? |
rindolf | markl_: the most popular appears to be Catalyst. |
markl_ | catalyst seems to at least have a book :) |
rindolf | markl_: it has several books. |
rindolf | markl_: I worked a bit with Mojolicious, and it wasn't too bad, but it reinvents a lot of wheels. |
rindolf | Due to its philosophy. |
rindolf | markl_: I also did some Catalyst projects. |
rindolf | Catalyst is a bit complicated. |
rindolf | sawyer: can you comment about Dancer? |
sawyer | Dancer is a lightweight web framework, it aims to make website development easy and rapid |
Su-Shee | like all the other web frameworks :) |
sawyer | for complex or extensive websites, i recommend Catalyst |
sawyer | but for smaller or not-as-complex website, Dancer is what i use |
markl_ | ok ty |
* Su-Shee | wants the one which makes it hard, complicated and difficult ;) |
sawyer | Su-Shee, true :) |
