DESCRIPTION

Cake is a mix between Dancer simplicity and Catalyst MVC way, I wanted to name it Cancer but since that was a really bad name I went with Cake :)

Cake has zero dependency -- yes -- it requires nothing more than the core modules that come with Perl itself, and this was my design decesion from day one, so I had to reinvent some wheels and steel some others :)

Features

Cake apps can be written in one single file, or the catalyst MVC way

Cake apps Can run on any server with standard Perl installation

It comes with a simple template system, something like TT, but we call it Cake-TT

It comes with a simple Database abstraction layer

Cake is also PSGI/Plack friendly by default, no need to change anything to enable your app to run under any of the available Plack webservers
