Just because you can use all of them it doesn't mean there isn't a
defacto standard.
TT is pretty much the default templating system for Catalyst,
DBIx::Class the default ORM and well, for configuration files, I
suppose it'd be YAML. At least those are the better supported choices
and that's why you can't properly learn Catalyst without tackling DBIC
or even TT, to a lesser degree.
