I'm in the design phase of a large Perl application, storing medical records. It's a green-field project and I have complete latitude to use whatever technologies I want; I've chosen to make it web-based but it isn't well enough defined at this point to say much more about it.

I'm looking to maximize my Laziness. I've been searching CPAN for modules that are mature, stable, and will handle some significant part of the job for me. Below is the list of what I've found.

I know that the specification information I've provided is non-existent, but all large-scale web-based apps that store information about people are going to have certain similarities. Can anyone recommend other modules/programs/whatever that I should be looking at?

Apache
The web/application server.
PostgreSQL
The DB backend.
Tangram
Provides easy object persistence
Alzabo
Generate and manage DB schemas easily
Template Toolkit
Front-end presentation
Log::Log4perl
Clean and powerful logging
Poe
Back end processing. Based on the various systems I've researched, this seems like my best choice for building the back end. I am unsure, however, if Poe will help much with Laziness.
