Re: Is Perl the right language for a large web application?

Try http://www.mojolicio.us/ It's great! I find development in Mojolicious fast and easy for many different aspects of webdevelopment.

I'll second this, Mojolicious IS great. I'm currently working on a web app and went with it and have been very happy with my decision.

As mentioned above in another reply, Dancer too is pretty similar. The main difference between Mojolicious and Dancer is that Mojo has no dependencies on anything from the CPAN (opting to implement everything internally) while Dancer is a bit smaller and uses things from the CPAN.

Both are smaller than Catalyst.
