So learn a new framework, but let it be in a language you're vaguely comfortable with. Seems you know Perl best, so if you can get Solstice to work on the dept. servers, and you can see how to get your project to work using it, and your new project isn't sufficiently like the other Solstice work you've done, you should use it. Rails if that doesn't work. This based on my ignorant opinion that you're not really supposed to have to know much about Ruby to use Rails (that is, you'd be learning Rails, not Ruby *and* Rails). Since the dept. servers work with it, you won't have to fight them. My new job will be using CakePHP. You could wait for a few weeks and ask my opinion then. Otherwise, I know jack-all about PHP frameworks. I’d say stretch your boundaries in one dimension at a time. So learn a new framework, but let it be in a language you’re vaguely comfortable with.
