Re^2: UP-TO-DATE Comparison of CGI Alternatives

[sierpinski]

the Catalyst BOOK is one of the best Perl books you can buy. I think it has great software engineering, Test Driven Design principles.

Which Catalyst book specifically are you referring to?

[Your Mother]

The Definitive Guide to Catalyst: Writing Extensible, Scalable and Maintainable Perl-Based Web Applications, ISBN 9781430223658.

Thanks Your Mother. I've been wanting to get deeper into Catalyst since I first played around with it a couple years ago, and now I have the chance to make a major project with it at work, so this would be a good resource I'm sure.

[Your Mother]

I adore Catalyst. Try out all the major frameworks before making a major choice. You might find one of the others to your liking. Catalyst has very good testing utilities, for example… Mojo’s is probably better/easier. You might also read some of the email threads from the various lists to see which community seems like the best fit.

Should be renamed to "Writing Extensible and Scalable Perl-Based Web Applications" because they are far from maintainable ...

[Your Mother]

I most strenuously disagree. They are a pleasure to maintain unless you write them like they were Mason or CGI.
