    I don't know of any wizard application per se, but you could look at using CGI::Application along with HTML::Template to build your simple application. If the program is database driven give Class::DBI a look. Finally, if this will become a full blown database driven web application look into Maypole which combines Class::DBI, Template, and an API for hooking all of them together.

      CGI::Application::Generator

    I really like Maypole, though it's best for database-backed apps and the learning curve can be a bit steep. CGI::Application can also make your life much easier for a different kind of application.

    What kind of utilities do you have in mind?
