RubyOnRails 15 minute movie

techcode has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there anything similar done using Perl? Anyone willing to do it? Actually I still haven't looked at the movie as I'm on dial up so I don't know what exactly guy is doing. Some sort of skeleton for blog software?

There are many frameworks for Perl, and IMHO something like that should be possible - say using CGI::App?

The Catalyst movies were interesting, and very similar to the RoR movies. As for CGI::Application, I don't think there are any movies, but I can point to a little example app I put together to show off some of the Ajax stuff that RoR has really been pushing. All of that stuff is possible (and easy) to do in perl through the HTML::Prototype module (usable in Catalyst as well as CGI::App). Please note that this example app is not intended to be useful, and the searching is quite slow (on purpose). The point was to show off the HTML::Prototype library, and how easy it is to use in CGI::App and Template Toolkit.	[reply]

Yes, there was a movie about Catalyst recently, as discussed in node 474890.	[reply]

Of course. It's just a little MVC app with some basic code generation and the equivalent of Class::DBI. Using Template Toolkit should actually makes things simpler than the templating in the Rails examples. The most similar things in Perl are Catalyst and Maypole, but you can do this with any MVC framework.	[reply]
