    For web apps I tend to use CGI::Application, with the HTML stored in template files (See HTML::Template), and for JavaScript fanciness (AJAX) I use the jQuery framework.

    Check out the CGI::Application homepage.

    Also, if you go down the jQuery route, you may be interested in jQuery UI:

    "jQuery UI provides abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, themeable widgets, built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library, that you can use to build highly interactive web applications."

    Update: Added link to the jQuery homepage.

    Update 2: Added section about jQuery UI
