I always liked Perl language. Unfortunately, PHP popularity forced me to start do major development with this language. That's why Perl became "hobby" tool of choose.

Whenever I am doing new "own" project, I try to do it with Catalyst Framework. This is another web framework, written on modern Perl and utilizes modules like Moose, DBIx::Class, Template Toolkit. It gives nice structured code which allows to extend or refactor it later easily.
