One effort to deal with this was the P5EE project. Some people wanted to do it by defining a set of APIs that are "P5EE" and then implement those, by writing new modules and retrofitting existing ones. This is sort of how J2EE works, with a central authority defining the APIs.

I prefer an alternative approach, which is to identify a set of high-quality modules which provide a complete toolkit for building most applications. It's very hard to do this in an "official" capacity, because people do have ego tied up in their CPAN modules and choosing one over another can get tricky. It would be easier as a sort of "branded" Perl distribution, although I don't know if P5EE is really the best name for it.
