Fun with Catalyst
April 16, 2006
Now that i am getting sucked into Perl more (not that it is a bad thing), I want to take a crack at doing web stuff with it. While cruising around the net i found an interesting MVC framework for Perl called Catalyst. I went ahead and grabbed it from cpan and will attempt to learn it. I have an idea for a web based application i been wanting to do for awhile. I figured what better way to implement it and learn something new in the process.
Hopefully (if i remember to) I am going to document my experiences and little things i discover about it.
The installation was pretty painless, i went and grabbed the tarball from cpan and built it using perl and nmake. There is a Bundle-Catalyst ppm package in Activestate’s repository but it looks like its pretty old and doesnt install all goodies the tarball does. The next step now is to start reading the docs and playing around with it.
