I have the opportunity to pretty much choose whatever Framework I want to use on a project. I am sort-of au fait with mod_perl and Mason. But since I am not completely fluent and anyway, that there combo is quite old, I reckon on using something like Catalyst, perhaps with Mason2.

But I am open to suggestions. Hence this post.

I really do need a "how to build a web server" A-Z tutorial: I have no idea how any of these newer frameworks fit inside (say) Ubuntu running Apache and MySQL (may as well stick to a LAMP-like setup*)

*I can, have and do set up lots of LAMP servers, where P=PHP. But I really have to use Perl, not PHP this time around. Can't say I see anything to moan about in that "restriction"! :-)

Any help gratefully received, as ever

Bill
