<P><FONT size=2>I noticed this comment while researching a Catalyst problem I'm having....I thought you might like this as perlmonger fodder or not....<BR><BR><BR><BR>MojoMojo, a Catalyst-based wiki.<BR>Author Profile Page theVoiceOfReason | November 14, 2008 12:35 PM | Reply<BR><BR>I recently suggested that Catalyst be used for a new web application we're developing and the manager in charge said the Perl was considered legacy in the company and prohibited from use for new projects. Has anyone seen this? I'm new at a mid-size to large east coast (USA) company. If you have seen this, how do you combat it?<BR></FONT></P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
