Perl Frameworks

Over the last year or so I've been working on my own framework X Apperator. It's a Perl based open source MVC-like lightweight application controller framework which uses XML to store individual application's configuration, functionality availability, behaviour and UI messages, uses XSLT to transform simple application XML data structures into vanilla web interfaces for editing and administration, and optionally renders data/content out to a static publishing point using XSLT for eventual web serving and end-user consumption

My work on XApperator was driven by the desire to avoid all the repetative work involved in building multiple small-scale web applications. As its grown its features have been influenced by other existing mature Perl based frameworks that may meet your needs should they be more demanding than what XApp has to offer. Some of the more popular ones (in no particular order) are...

• Apache::Pagekit
• Apache AxKit
• Catalyst
• CGI::Application
• CGI::XMLApplication
• CGI::Prototype
• HTML::Mason
• Jifty
• Maypole
• OpenInteract
• XML::Comma
