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?
It depends on many reasons - in companies where perl is used for years - yes - it is still in use. But it is more about perl at all compared to other langs, companies politics etc.
- 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
Catalyst is probably the most popular and extensible MVC framework in perl. There are many "real business" projects made or in development using Catalyst. However it can take some time to be in production level in Cata. Check catalyst mail-list, irc; the documentation can a little suck but framework and community around it is really great.
There are also other modern frameworks like Jifty (people say: faster start-up compared to Catalyst) or kind of glue like CGI::App.
links to articles discussing modern perl programming techniques and frameworks would also be appreciated.
