Mason looks interesting, but I'm looking for something with less learning curve and infrastructure. Ideally, I'd like to be able to turn over parts of it to other programmers who will be relative Perl newbies.

This is why I'm attracted by CGI::Application. I'm also leaning toward HTML::Template. Looks like this combination is fairly simple and has been used together a lot, which means I can count on lots of examples and help.

One question about templating systems I have. Is anyone aware of templates that can be maintained with standard WYSIWYG HTML editors like FrontPage? We have some FrontPage users in our group. If they could maintain the templates with no help or interaction from me, that'd be a big plus. Of course, they would have to interact with the CGI programmer on the characteristics of form inputs.
