I want to let fellow Perl Monks know about the p5ee project that is underway. It is in its early stages right now and needs as much input as it can get. The mailing list is currently very low volume. Most people involved are working on their own ideas that will be brought together in the near future for possible inclusion in the final p5ee.

You can learn more about p5ee at its home page.
A short summary is:
Perl Modules on CPAN are flexible, supporting many different system designs. CPAN supports many redundant modules. In fact, the slogan in Perl is "there's more than one way to do it" (TMTOWTDI).

Developing an Enterprise System is different. It requires many consistent design choices. It requires the successful integration of numerous perl modules. The slogan in P5EE should be "this is one great way to do it".

The fact is that there are many great ways to do it. As a result, the P5EE project supports both the P5EE:: and P5EEx:: (P5EE experimental) module namespaces. Multiple prototypical and experimental versions of "one great way to do Enterprise development in Perl" are expressed through the P5EEx namespace. The goal, however, is to reach a single expression of "one great way to do it". The P5EE namespace represents the consensus of the best great way.
