I have this complex search and analysis web interface for genetic sequence data. About 6 different tools have forms that submit to one large Mason script. Things like doing different types of searches, viewing alignments, adding to folders of saved data, etc. The mason page figures out what is going on and calls the appropriate object and runs that code. But there is also a lot of if statements, session altering/updating, caching etc.
This page is rather nasty, despite my efforts at slimming it down.
Is there a pattern that is useful for this type of situation? What do you do in your web apps? My goal is an easily maintainable, minimally Mason piece of code.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
