We talk to Matt S. Trout, technical team leader at consulting firm
Shadowcat Systems Limited, creator of the DBIx::Class ORM and of many
other CPAN modules, and of course co-maintainer of the Catalyst web
framework. These are some of his activities, but for this interview we
are interested in Matt’s work with Catalyst.
Our discussion turned out not to be just about Catalyst though. While discussing the virtues of the framework, we learned, in Matt’s own colourful language, what makes other popular web frameworks tick, managed to bring the consultant out of him who shared invaluable thoughts on architecting software as well as on the possibility of Perl 6 someday replacing Perl 5 for web development.
We concluded that there’s no framework that wins by knockout, but that the game’s winner will be decided on points, points given by the final judge, your needs.
