Hello salazar

Have there been any problems or gotchas you have experienced or noticed which consistently occur amongst converts?

Only one thing.

If you are used to the PHP way, you may get an almost 1:1 transition in Web projects using HTML::Mason.

Mason allows you (doesn't force you) to intersperse your HTML with stuff like

 [some.html]

    ...
   <table class="someclass">
%   my $counter = 1;     
%   foreach my $pr (@projects) {
%     my $rowcolor = ++$counter & 1 ? $color{DARK} : $color{LIGHT};
      <tr class="tablefont" bgcolor="<% $bgcol %>">
        <td> <% $pr->{topic} %>:</td>
        <td> <% $pr->{link} %> </td>
      </tr>
%   } 
    </table>
    ...
[download]

which is almost a PHP idiom (in contrast to the "smarty" way ;-)

And, you may implement catalyst-like controller logic right into the directory it belongs to (dhandler)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
