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 :) |

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 :) |
