There is a good CGI::Application howto - tutorial - slide show with a clear example (and no it's not the Search Form example) completely developed and explained here: http://uniforum.chi.il.us/slides/cgiapplication/ . It deserves a look. It helps a lot for getting started. And the modules it uses are PerlMonk compatibles ;) .
