Sorry but AFAIK Perl on Rails is vaporware. The main reason why the announcements got such a big audience are IMHO depictions of the pathetic development environment at the BBC.

But did anyone ever see any code?

Catalyst is IMHO very TIMTOWTDI flexible (e.g. allowing integration of all main CPAN templating systems) but heavy and requesting much knowledge and planing.

If you are looking for a more Rails like monolithical approach in Perl you may want to have a look at Jifty or Mojo.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
