I have been using CGI::Applications for many years. IMHO the biggest
problem with
it is its name[1]. AFAIK it the development is not that active because
the developers
1) do not want it to be a big framework like Catalyst
2) find that it has been mature for several years now
Even though I do things happening on the mailing list here and there.

I am now playing with Dancer because it is a new toy and
it has a cooler name than CGI::Applications.
