If you like the way PHP works, try Mason or Apache::ASP. If you prefer to try out MVC, Catalyst is a good starting point, but make sure to read some docs for Class::DBI and Template Toolkit before you try to get Catalyst working. CGI::Application::Framework is also good for beginners.
Don't go near things like Maypole + Mason for your first try at web stuff in Perl. You will tear your hair out.
