Catalyst Framework for Perl

[beyondxm]

I stumbled upon this yesterday so I thought I'd share. There's a perl framework out there that sorta mimicks what Ruby on Rails does called Catalyst.

http://www.catalystframework.org/

Any thoughts or opinions on this framework ?

Thanks,
Michael

I like Catalyst.

Unfortunately it isn't installed on BlueHost.

However, I've rolled my own local installation of Perl, and my needed modules.

Catalyst works as a CGI, now I'm trying to find out if I can make it to run as fastcgi or mod_perl .... dunno yet

if I can make it to run as fastcgiyes or mod_perlno

mod_perl basically allows you to break apache for everyone on a machine, you won't find a shared host that gives you that (and if you do, don't trust them, as anyone else on the machine can **** up your account)

can you give me a hint on how to make fastcgi work?

I've setup in .htaccess

AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

then tried to access a small fcgi script, which won't work

ps xa |grep -i fast

gives me

31859 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/apache/bin/fcgi- -DSSL

which I assume is fastcgi ....
