This may be of interest. http://www.flossuk.org/Events/Perl2012 It's not going to be entirely focused on Catalyst and DBIC but it will give you a nice overview. It won't cover the JSON/XML stuff your after. For that you'll have to do what everyone else does; read the docs and ask questions. Another option might be with get yourself a per-incident, by-the-hour, support deal. There are plenty of free-lancers (and companies with free-lancers) that can offer that. It could be amiss of me to suggest one on-list.
