As a long-time user of and fan of mod_perl, I would say that there is no good reason today to be building such a framework using it.

Use an existing framework and extend it to fit your needs. For example, if you use Dancer2 you handle sessions simply like this in the application config: 

engines:
  session:
    Simple:
      cookie_name: your_app.session

There are pre-built session engines for cookies, file, memcached, database, whatever you want.

Using a framework like this in no way prevents you from building tools to simplify menus, etc. But using a modern framework does mean that you will avoid lots of struggles and pain with dated libraries.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
