Catalyst::Runtime
Obviously :)
HTML::TagCloud
For /tags , and more recently /user/$user/tags . I've submitted patches to this module so I could generate html the way arne wanted :-) These patches has been rolled into the cpan distro by acme++
Catalyst::Model::DBIC::Schema
During early development, I loaded the DBIC classes automatically, but as I started stabilize the schema,
I used the feature to generate static classes from the database.
Net::Trackback
We support trackbacks using this module. It was pretty easy to integrate into the Catalyst controller,
and later when I found out trackback is a spammer's wet dream, it was easy to add domain checking in the
action. We now do explicit whitelisting of domains, with a user interface to add your domain, if you want
to be linked on the app entry. I'm also planning on adding avatar support through this feature
DBIx::Class::DateTime::Epoch
I store all dates as long ints in the database, and use this module to automatically inflate them to
DateTime objects.
Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication / Store::DBIC / Credential::Password
To handle user authentication. The flexibility nothingmuch++ put into our second generation auth layer makes me very happy. If you do auth in your app, you need to use the Authentication plugins.
Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode
My goal for iusethis was to make it unicode through and through. We still have some encoding problems,
specially related to TT, but mostly it's been working out well.
Catalyst::Plugin::PageCache
Threw this in after we started to get some load trouble. Works pretty well. Supplied a patch to make it not cache pages for auth'ed users. This patch is part of the latest CPAN release
Catalyst::Plugin::Email
All the mails sent from iusethis are generated with this module. I use the ->render method of the TT view
to easily generate the email bodies.
Catalyst::Plugin::HTML::Widget
I use HTML::Widget to generate the various forms in use on iusethis. At the time I started the project I decided it was the least bad of the alternatives. I haven't been keeping up with current developments tho, so it will be interesting to see if the latest releases on CPAN still works with my app :)
DBIx::Class::HTMLWidget
This one takes care of updating the data from HTML::Widget.
Catalyst::View::JSON
Added this module to easily generate JSON views. Another thing that Just Worked. Took me maybe 10 minutes to add JSON support.
Imager
I use imager to scale and convert icons/screenshots/avatars.
Catalyst::Plugin::Session / State::Cookie / Store::FastMmap
The session layer has unfortunately been giving me a lot of grief. For reasons unknown to me, sessions
are expired early, and sometimes my users have to delete their cookies :/ I've spent a fair amount of
time trying to debug this to no avail.
Catalyst::Action::RenderView
One of the things that Just Work. I don't think much about this one.
Catalyst::Plugin::Textile
Does all rendering of user supplied text on the site, like comments, app descriptions and release notes.
Crypt::PassGen
We use this one to reset your password if you forgot it.
XML::Feed
Generates all our XML::Feeds easily. Among other things, it means we can switch to atom easily, if wanted.
Module::Pluggable
This module is in use in our 'hotness' system, which scores apps based on recent popularity.
XML::OPML::SimpleGen
I've recently added support for getting your personal information in OPML format. This module made it a sinch.
Catalyst::Model::Xapian
This is a module I wrote to interface with Search::Xapian in my Search-engines. It's a little more high-level,
and includes an example indexer script.
I might have forgotten one or two, but that's mostly the modules that make up iusethis.com at the present time :) Hope this list will be useful to someone.

I learned about a few things i need to check out.
Thanks.
did you use anything for the ajax stuff? (like, say, Catalyst::Plugin::Prototype)
Assume we have an items table, a tags table and a table containing all items tags relations.
