First I wouldn't count out Catalyst or Moose out. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Moose is important because Perl 5 needed a better OO support and Catalyst is what brought me back to Perl. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
From where I stand I think more focus should be brought to Windows and MS products. Many of us at work cannot but use tools that play nice with IIS, SQL Server and Active Directory. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
RT, Jifty won't play nice or at all with the above mentioned stack. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Catalyst at least installed, I have yet to find out if all the modules I need from CPAN will work properly. I really loved Catalyst choose your own weapon approach to things.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Strawberry Perl need more attention too, since its what bring CPAN to windows.
