I've used Catalyst for a number of web applications, and find it to be very
decent software. It is flexible, mature, well documented, and has a thriving
support community (email list, irc, regular releases).

I have not used Dancer, but I have looked at it to some degree. The biggest
attraction to me is that it does not have nearly the list of CPAN module
dependencies that Catalyst does. If you are in any sort
of enterprise-y situation, where it is not trivial to install arbitrary
modules from the CPAN, then getting Catalyst up and running can be quite a
headache.
