[Catalyst] Catalyst - any good AJAX tutes?

[kakimoto at tpg.com.au]

hello, all :)

 thanks for the responses to help me out. I was wondering if there are
any good tutes that can be recommended for a perl programmer to

1) learn enough to set up the javascript itself ( be it in jQuery, dojo
or anything you prefer)
2) learn enough about how to intercept the ajax request in the
controller and send it back to the page ( ie JSON)? 

-tutes in relation to the cause above in areas of JSON (yes aside from
Catalyst::View::JSON) , jQuery or dojo would be really good.
 I am sure there's a lotta folks who got catalyst apps built (thanks,
Jon!) but have yet to use AJAX/JSON or any of these good stuff. Hence, a
lot of work has been put in place to reload forms, preserve parameter
values and so forth. With AJAX,i  guess we hope to cut down on
development time and also, to improve the application in terms of usability.


More recommendations/tute suggestions please :)


thank you :)
