Articles, talks and books welcome, dude. Of course, if you do your homework first you'll find that lots of articles, talks and books have already been done on this topic! Don't let that stop you though - if Rails has proven anything it's that basic MVC techniques are ripe for re-discovery.

As for standardizing around one framework, even if it was desirable (which I don't think it is), it's hardly possible. Too many projects have too much invested in their framework to just walk away from it (ex: Krang and CGI::Application, Bricolage and HTML::Mason, etc.). Clearly there are many ways to build a web app and the Perl community is far too diverse to ever agree on just one!
