As part of the [potential?] move into UK RepositoryNet+ I am moving the discovery side of OA-RJ into a whole new framework…. and using Catalyst.

It is AWESOME!

It’s faster by fairly serious amounts compared to straight CGI scripts, and the whole way of interacting with the database is just so clean it’s brilliant. I’m suffering a bit from the “old dog, new tricks” syndrome…. but man – it’s amazing!
