<DIV><SPAN class=601321618-11122005><FONT face=Alaska>I tried unsuccessfully to
use Maypole and was continually confounded by poor/incorrect documentation,
missing pieces from the tarball, etc. Would have loved to have been able
to get it up and running, but I don't think it's ready for prime time (unless
you're a perl wizard :)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=601321618-11122005><FONT face=Alaska>I looked briefly at
Catalyst, and have started working on it, but also ran into problems (but I do
like the fact that they have operational scripts that set up the directory
structure and do lots of housekeeping for you... similar to Ruby on
Rails).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

and then will try PerlMongers.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
