web programming in perl

Hi

I have been out of the perl web programming sphere for a long time, so I have a couple of quick question just to point me in the right direction.

- is perl used as much for web programming compared to f.ex php, ruby, java?
- what are the primary forums for dicussing perl web programming these days?
- what are the most used web frameworks for perl? I have found out about Catalyst, and it seems to be used on some known sites

links to articles discussing modern perl programming techniques and frameworks would also be appreciated.

regards

tom
