For a wiki framework I'm developing, I'm considering a port to either
Maypole or Catalyst. I'd greatly appreciate any help in making up my
mind.
One big reason I'm asking has to do with URIs. My wiki supports
hierarchical namespaces, i.e. /path/to/page. I'm planning to use Maypole
or Catalyst to do things like /path/to/page/edit, /path/to/page/history,
etc. where 'edit', 'history', etc. are methods. All pages will be
handled by a default "wiki page" plugin, but I also want to easily
override the default with other plugins for arbitrary URIs.
Maypole?
Maypole seems to be built around the assumption that URIs will be
/path/to/some_class/some_method. Is it easy to override that behavior?
Even if it is, I'm a little uncomfortable with the idea of constantly
overriding a core feature. Am I right to be concerned about this?
Catalyst?
It seems that Catalyst may have the flexibility to support my goals
OOTB. However, the documentation is so sparse that it's hard to tell.
Sebastian, can you provide some more complex examples? I'd also love to
know what features you've stolen from Ruby on Rails, Springs, etc. along
with some examples of their use.
If either of these projects would meet my needs, I'd be happy to
contribute whatever I can.
Thank you,
David Naughton
