Normally this involves a template-generation tool that -creates HTML for the user's web browser, but it could easily be code -that generates other forms such as PDF documents, e-mails, or Excel -spreadsheets. - -=item * Controller - -As suggested by its name, the controller takes user requests and routes -them to the necessary model and view. - -=back - -=item * ORM - -The use of Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) technology for database -access.

All Catalyst projects -begin with the C helper (see L -for more information on helpers). Also note that as of Catalyst 5.7000, -you will not have the helper scripts unless you install both -L and L. - -In the case of this tutorial, use the Catalyst C script to -initialize the framework for an application called C: - - $ catalyst.pl MyApp - created "MyApp" - created "MyApp/script" - created "MyApp/lib" - created "MyApp/root" - ... - created "MyApp/script/myapp_create.pl" - $ cd MyApp - -The C helper script will display the names of the -directories and files it creates. - -Though it's too early for any significant celebration, we already have a -functioning application.
