This is the Runtime distribution for the Catalyst MVC framework.

For more information about Catalyst, write

perldoc Catalyst

at the command line, or visit http://www.catalystframework.org/.

1. Install Catalyst if you haven't yet:

cpanm Catalyst

2. Create a new catalyst application:

catalyst.pl DemoApp

3. Change the directory to the newly created directory and start the built-in developer server

cd DemoApp; plackup -Ilib demoapp.psgi

4. Go to http://localhost:5000 and you'll see the default welcome page.

You can also install Catalyst::Manual from CPAN for more comprehensive information.

If you are going to write your own Catalyst application, you will need to install Catalyst::Devel. Afterwards run catalyst.pl for more information about creating your first app.
