Question

Are there any Perl web-development frameworks other than Catalyst that are:

• written with Moose
• natively written for PSGI (not with some PSGI-emulation)
• Unicode ready/safe – so Perl 5.10+
• small, extensible and nice

or is Catalyst the only guy in the town? 🙂

AFAIK, Dancer, Mojolicious, Jifty are not Moose-core

Answer 1

Here is my favorite one – Mason.

• Moose based
• default web-agnostic and PSGI native with PSGIHandler plugin
• its utf8 support is can be done with plugin see here

It is usually used as templating engine only, but with some discipline you can use it as VC framework (read: not enforcing separation and doing nothing for Models, Views are natural, Controllers you can done with dhandlers and with the RouterSimple plugin).
