I'm glad to see Rails get the publicity and grow the fastest in history
But I'm *VERY* sad to see Tim O'Reilly continue to turn his back on Perl
After all, he employs many Perl celebrities (Gnat, etc.) (Larry still??)

RE: Perl::Rails?
Depressing.
I was discussing this very topic on the Catalyst IRC last night, and =
someone suggested that a Catalyst book was turned down at O'Reilly due =
to "not enough interest". Maybe there's not enough interest because not =
enough people know about it, including Tim!
I'd love to see the Perl community rally around _something_ Catalyst =
or Maypole or anything really, at a time when our numbers could be an =
advantage. But without the support of O'Reilly or ourselves, these apps =
will be slow to grow.=20
Are we not marketing ourselves enough in front of Tim or whomever ?
Ideas??

Quote:
Ruby on Rails is indeed ... the driver of the interest in Ruby,
which, after all, has been around for years without generating the
kind of surge it's seen in the past six months. But as you can
see, we're on the fence about whether or not Python has an answer
to RoR (and we're not even asking the question about Perl!)
Why, oh why, isn't he asking the same question about Perl?
