&lt;p&gt;Catalyst is much more advanced down the development path than Maypole, but personally, I prefer &lt;a href="http://www.cgi-app.org"&gt;CGI::Appplication&lt;/a&gt; because it's easier to learn, but the sheer volume of &lt;a href="http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/cgi-bin/cgi-app/index.cgi?Plugins"&gt;plugins&lt;/a&gt; being added in the last few months gives you a level of functionality on a par with Catalyst.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Catalyst has a steep learning curve IMHO, which is not helped by the documentation which seems a bit unstructured to me, but which obviously is sufficient for all those Catalyst programmers out there ... so I guess that it's personal taste.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A comparison  between CGI::Application and Catalyst can be found &lt;a href ="http://cgiapp.erlbaum.net/cgi-bin/cgi-app/index.cgi?CatalystCompared"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</field>
