Say you were wanted to get going quickly on a project, a typical SQL-back-end, Perl-HTML-front-end project, which framework/module/setup would you use?

I'm at the planning stage of a website for a client.

They need:

• a database back-end with a database of businesses in categories in suburbs, e.g. "Café X" in category "Cafés" in Suburb X
• the display of various listings and sortings and categorisations of those businesses
• various flaggings and notations of these database items so Café X can be "Café of the week" and/or "voted best Café" or whatever.
• the ability for the client to take over, add items to the database, upload images, etc etc

It's that last one I'm asking about, really. I can happily put together all the other stuff, but is there any kind of pre-packaged Perl solution for those kind of tasks, specifically, easily creating straightforward user front-ends for that kind of back end?

Otherwise I'll need a fully-fledged CMS, or I'll need to use some kind of blogging setup and customise/add to it.

I don't have experience of CGI::Application or Catalyst or anything like that, but I've done similar stuff using the DBI, CGI and HTML::Template modules.
