## Notes

Catalyst is a framework for building web applications in Perl. It is installed from CPAN, and its README names the Catalyst::Devel distribution for the helper scripts that create an application. Catalyst::Runtime, the core distribution, is released under the same terms as Perl itself.

## Worth knowing

The homepage that the project named now shows unrelated content, and no other site of the project was found, so no homepage is linked and the record is held as a stub.
