I must say, that I too have walked this path and searched for the "ideal" CGI framework, as yet, to no avail ... I would however throw a bit more into the melting point, and recommend you having a look at this node by boo radley which offers some excellent suggestions for development direction of CGI frameworks - It was from this node that I was able to draw many ideas for what is becoming the intended featureset for a CGI framework which I am currently developing.

Currently, however, as many new work projects cross my desk, the available time for development disappears - For the time being, I have been making great use of the combination of CGI, CGI::Application, HTML::Template, Apache::Session and Data::FormValidator. If you are interested I can put up a couple examples of this, however as it stands, this framework is fairly basic and is far from a "packaged solution".
