The main issues with Plagger that I was aware of during the choice to move were mostly to do with flexibility and size. Plagger installs a number of dependencies and we were concerned about the size as it was making Plagger a little inflexible and we needed to bring some flexibility into the system as we were moving towards integrating into a Catalyst framework for future development. Perlanet allowed us to use a system that was smaller and more mutable for fitting into the architectural choices we were making. I would say that if you pop into the #northwestengland.pm channel on irc.perl.org you'll get a better understanding of some of the issues if you speak to Carl (fade), Ian (idn) and Matt (mst).

As someone who's only poked around with Plagger, I'm curious about what the trade-offs are? Phillip. Just wondering if you can expand on the thinking behind Perlanet vs. Plagger?
