I do admit it's nice to have access to CPAN with your web app, but these days java can do a lot of the stuff CPAN can do. For me I would choose Struts+hibernate over Catalyst since I value re-using code and (ab)using object oriented programming. Without a good OO language your big MVC app will become spaghetti code fast. And assuming you require an MVC framework you will probably be looking at a large project thus OO will help a lot.

Catalyst is very light and they've made it even lighter. You choose what modules you use. And now, you choose only the part of Catalyst you'd like on the server.From the blog posting:"We understand that Catalyst has a large number of dependencies, and that it can be hard to deploy your applications to production. That's why we have split the Catalyst distribution into a Runtime and Devel part. This is a cleaner design overall, and means your application only needs to install what it needs to run on the servers. For instance you no longer need to install Template Toolkit on your servers if you use HTML::Mason or another Catalyst View."

IIRC catalyst is being used to code the replacement for their hacked version of vBulletin on the SomethingAwful forums (ie. the sixth largest forum on the internet). If they pull that off I'm going to be very impressed with catalyst. I haven't coded any perl since the days of cgi-bin before I discovered php.edit: link <a class="user" href="http://www.teambarry.com/?p=27">http://www.teambarry.com/?p=27</a>
