Perl 5 - Powering Web 2.0

dev411.com — New Perl 5 web frameworks (such as Catalyst and Jifty), OO models (Moose) and other techniques dramatically improve Perl for web development and large-scale projects making many complaints about the language irrelevant. These, when combined with CPAN, continue to make Perl 5 a very attractive language for new web apps.

  • jrockway, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yup, Catalyst is awesome. It handles all the hard stuff for you, so you can concentrate on the fun stuff!

    Insert plug for Angerwhale, my Catalyst-based weblog app :) http://www.jrock.us/trac/blog_software
  • ghenry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Speed of development anyone? ;-)
  • chargrill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Perl completely rocks. It's fast, and scalable, and great frameworks like Catalyst (haven't checked out jifty) really get me excited.

    And it's hard to mention Perl without mentioned http://perlmonks.org/ where a fairly large portion of the Perl community congregate.
