You can find more information on the speaker's site:
engoi.com is a multilangual learning site, designed to provide simple language lessons in many languages. The original site was essentially a set of cgi scripts under mod_perl - small, fast but not too structured, and maintainability became a nightmare, fast. Over the last year, the site has been rebuilt using the Catalyst framework - in doing it, I learned a (bit) more about web programming.
The site is still a long way from being an "ideal" implementation, but in this talk I will discuss the features of Catalyst that most impressed me, and how they have been used in the design on Engoi.
