In this chapter, we created our first Catalyst application with the catalyst.pl utility. After running the skeleton application and inspecting it with a web browser, we added an HTML template View with the myapp_create.pl script and created a "Hello" Controller to display a "Hello, world" page. Finally, we added a database Model using DBIC::Schema and created a Controller containing actions that show data from the database, via the View and templates, as an HTML page.
