[Catalyst] Porting or not porting?

Hi!
Some years ago I wrote a rather big app. It's running on mod_perl 1.0
and uses Class::DBI (plus loads of plugings), TT and some (well much)
custom-written 'controller' code.
I now have to upgrade this app to mod_perl 2.0.
I've been playing with it this morning, and suffer from the usual
effects of viewing code one has written several years ago (i.e. I try
hard not to throw up...)
So I'm starting to think if it might be easier (especially with future
updates in mind) to port the whole thing to Catalyst/DBIx::Class.
I did some Cat-things in the past and know a few things, but before I
can really start looking into porting, I need some input:
- What's the status of form handling/error checking/resubmitting?
Are there stable, working and documented tools available?
- I will need some very fine-grained access right controls (eg for
downloading a single item). If there isn't a Cat-solution, can I still
use my custom mod_perl handlers?
I guess there will be more questions, but especially the first one is
rather importand and a potential show-stopper. So I'd appreciate any
feedback :-)
Thanks...
