Any ideas how I should go about approaching this?

:) Yeah, for a quick-start try Titanium/titanium-starter . See Re^2: CGI layout and try mojo/dancer/catalyst, and then compare.

To learn about MVC visit Re^2: mod_perl website structure, and think where the above skeletons fit in the scheme of MVC

Then see how CGI::Application has been actually used on CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/CGI::Application::Tutorial::Namegame; http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/CGI::Application::Demo::Basic; http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/App::Office::CMS; http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Smoulder; http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/CPAN::Forum / http://cpanforum.com/; http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Miril / http://www.mechanicalrevolution.com/topic/miril.html; http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Rubric / http://rjbs.manxome.org/rubric/~rjbs; http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Web::Passwd; http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Unamerican::Truth

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
