[kw-pm] March Talk this Thursday: Catalyst Web Framework

[Justin Wheeler]

Catalyst really isn't just another web frame work.  It's huge.  The 
contributors list is massive, its development is ongoing, its feature 
list is massive, and it is easily the largest perl based framework in 
existence today in terms of number of installs, number of shops actively 
using it in development, and interest.

I'd say it's even a part of a resurgence in perl5 land I'm witnessing 
lately.  There are real (massive) websites out there running on 
Catalyst, and it's pretty awesome.
