what i developed in the past it's mere CGI (and watch CGI must die! if you can stand English at machine gun rate..) but i'm interested in perl's web ability and I collected some links about. They are almost all in my chaotic homenode (search for Plack..) but, even better, you have two recent threads about Modern Perl Web Panorama: CGI Alternatives and a threaad with a blaspheme title :=)

I'v done some little initial tests using Dancer (search for version 2 as Athanasius wisely suggested) because seemed to me a little easier to start with (at least in respect to Catalyst).

But another thing were even more important for me to understand: CGI was a specification of a protocol and CGI.pm was it's implementation. A new specification is born in the meanwhile called PSGI.
Plack has also born to implement a suite of PSGI aware tools but read the difference at plackperl FAQ and a short article about these distictions

have fun and reports your findings!
