Just as there are limitless different types of "perl websites", there are limitless ways of creating them. I prefer using CGI::Application and (via inheritence) HTML::Template. CGI::Application for helping you think of the various tasks of your site in "run modes", while HTML::Template (CGI::Application::load_tmpl) helps you abstract your HTML code into template files. I absolutely *love* doing all of my sites this way now, but it may- may-not fit your needs.

A fine introduction to CGI::Application can be found here, and one for HTML::Template here.
