Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am working on creating a setup wizard for a multitenant web application. The assistant is fairly straightforward and consists of several screens that allow a user to enter company details, set an initial user name and password, and make some other configuration choices. At the end of the setup I need to store the information in a database and create a couple of DNS entries. I've got a fair amount of experience with CGI::Application and HTML::Template and was planning to use those to create my setup assistant, but thought I'd check here to see if anyone has any different, clever way of doing this.

    That's the setup I've used over the years when I've had to develop something for the web, but you may want to check out Catalyst as well.

    Update: along with DBIx::Class for the database stuff.
