framework for modperl applications
I found that Catalyst is too huge to use.
Other than Catalyst, do you have any other framework suggested for MP
applications?
thanks.

My understanding is that Catalyst is as light as you want it to be.
What is 'heavy' about it? What are you looking for in a framework?

Apache::Dispatch (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Apache-Dispatch) is on
lightweight end of the spectrum, one step removed from writing your
application using PerlResponseHandlers. I'm not sure it qualifies as a
framework though, maybe just a request framework. It has been measured
as almost as fast as straight response handlers (assuming that hasn't
changed from 0.09 to 0.10).

You could help me debug Apache2::Controller. It is still
unstable and incomplete, though. YAAF. --mark--

I'm using HTML::Mason and MasonX::WebApp along with DBIx::Class as the main
parts of my framwork.
MasonX::WebApp allows (but does not force) me, to put my logic in .pm files
and keep my mason components free from business logic , yet not entirely free
from perl code, This is why I like it, I can still do small and simple things
in my components and put my important stuff in .pm files.
Noting to mention about DBIx::Class, either you like OR-Wrappers or not, but I
would recommend it strongly.
Session mgmt comes with MasonX::WebApp
Internationalisation is done with Locale::Maketext,
Logging with Log4perl, that's it. Switched from apache1 to apache2 recently
with not too much trouble and I'm quite happy with this!
For performance issues I'm running a lightweight frontend apche and a
mod_perl-apache as reverse proxy for the backend (as described in mod_perl
book).

Most will argue that it's not considered a framework per se, but I like
HTML::Template. It's more of a templating engine really.

Catalyst is big because of all the things it can do. If you want all of
that stuff for free you need a big framework.

I prefer CGI::Application. Just ignore the name, it works just peachy
under mod_perl. It's a very simple framework by itself and has lots of
plugins to give you things like sessions, configuration, form
validation, etc.
