Pepper might be a fun way to get started in the framework direction -- the documentation is very good, and the idea seems to be to enable the user to get something useful up and running quickly, and to be a confidence-builder.

Quoting from the documentation:

"This quick-start kit is designed for new users to easily experiment and learn about Perl and for seasoned users to quickly stand up simple web services. This is not a framework. This is a quick-start kit meant to simplify learning and small projects. The goal is for you to fall in love with Perl and continue your journey on to Mojo, Dancer2, AnyEvent, Rex, PDL, POE, and all other the many terrific Perl libraries (more than I can list here). This is a great community of builders, and there is so much to discover at https://metacpan.org and https://perldoc.perl.org/"
