Indeed, it is a matter of defining what "from scratch" means. Is is DBIx::Class, DBI::SomeDB, DBI or do you have to go to the bare metal? Is it Handel, Catalyst or CGI or do you have to re-invent the lower layers of that protocol?

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
