I haven't ever used it, but it looks pretty clean from the 
documentation.  My big beef with rails is that if you don't do things 
the way it wants, it makes it a living hell (in my experience at least) 
to get it done.  This seems to be fairly adaptable and let you do your 
own things and just provide a framework to help you out.

And I agree with Jay, please let us know what you find out from using 
it, I'm curious to see how it works out for you, if it seems cool I'll 
be much more likely to experiment with it on my next project :}.

Oh, and should you want to show it off I'd be game for a perl-only 
meeting, I haven't been able to make it to the last two DynLug meetings 
do to schedule conflicts.

Best Regards,
Travis
