Catalyst

Catalyst is a web framework written in Perl and inspired by Perl. As with its parent language, Catalyst makes the easy things easy and the hard things possible. Unlike other frameowrks, it comes with very little out of the box, and in fact doesn't really come with a box. It's not desgiend to make the first half-day of your programming experience easy; it's designed so that the speed of development of your code is just as quick for you at the beginning of a project as it is in the middle, at the end, and some period of time later when you realize you have to return to a long-forgotten project to do maintenance programming or add new features.
