Last night London.pm hosted a "Web Frameworks Night" where we had speakers who talked about Catalyst, Django and Ruby on Rails.
It was a very successful night (probably the highest attendance we've ever had for a meeting). I've written some notes about the talks over on my blog.

Well the point wasn't really to demonstrate all available frameworks, we had a finite amount of time:)
The idea was to give a flavour of the frameworks available in these three languages. Catalyst was chosen to represent Perl because a) it's getting a lot of good press recently, b) in many ways it's most like Rails and Django and c) it was the first Perl framework that the organisers could find a speaker for.
There is, of course, a huge choice in Perl web frameworks. But sometimes presenting users[1] with a huge choice can be counterproductive.
[1] And in this case "users" are programmers (not necessarily Perl programmers) who might want to use a web framework.
