I have also done a lot of CGI::App webapps, I have recently moved on to Catalyst. You may want to take a look. It has a better base IMHO than CGI:A, meaning you dont have to do as much building from the ground up. It also has a pretty nice scaffolding system where it will create MVC classes for you based on database, or TT, etc. A slick article on it showing how easy it is to make a webapp is here...
