Hi Siegfried, First, it's important to consider whether or not you want a framework. Sometimes they bind you to a particular set of tools or design methodology that can be quite difficult to break out of. Also, they can frequently be slow or have a steep learning curve. That being said ... The framework in Perl that's getting the most press these days would be Maypole. You can read some introductory material at http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2004/04/15/maypole.html. Maypole also has an active mailing list and those who get it up and running are quite happy with it. In fact, Simon Cozens, the original author, stated that he was trying to create something similar to Jakarta Struts. They have a homepage if you're curious: http://maypole.perl.org/. There's also AxKit (http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/12/axkit.html). This is good if you're comfortable with XML and XSLT. I'm not, but that's a matter of personal preference. I've no idea whether or not AxKit is a good choice, though I've heard good things about it. There's also OpenInteract (http://www.openinteract.org/). I know nothing about it, but it's been around for a while so presumably (?) it's stable and well-tested.
