Starting a new web project?

Yes.

Have you done this before? What kinds of sites have you created?

I've worked on larger php sites (but not created them myself). I've created small toy sites with CGI::App, Python's Django, and gone through a Rails tutorial long ago. Some experience with Apache, MySQL, and basic GNU/Linux admin tasks.

What kind of site do you want to build?

See one of my replies elsewhere in this thread: Re^2: Catalyst or Dancer?

and a half day with each of your candidates will answer your question

Ok, but it would also be helpful to see what others think of as the strong points of each of the different frameworks.
