Hello,

Depends on what do you want to do with AJAX. For example, if you want to do
forms, I think it is a bit more complicated than suggested in previous
replies.

Ideally, for forms, you'd like to have some modules that magically
initialize your forms with data from your model, then render a nice form
with your favorite JS toolkit, using  AJAX for things like auto-complete
with data from your model, validate the forms both on the client and on the
server, and then update your model with the user submitted data.

So far, I haven't found anything that does this for my tools of choice:
DBIx::Class + Dojo

There is HTML::FormFu::Dojo which sounds promising but hasn't been released
yet. Check it out here: http://code.google.com/p/html-formfu/

cheers
Francesc
