I can personally vouch for CGI::Application's homemade goodness. I found it a tad easier to learn than HTML::Mason while it provides similar functionality. Basically, it provides runtime function callbacks on various invocations of the script with some shortcuts in between. I've find this module killer if combined with HTML::Template (or some other templating mechanism).

One drawback is that the entire generated HTML must be passed back as a string when you're done- hence the web l0ser will not see any stuff until the script is absolutely done- ala zero NPH capability (or similar capability). This is especially frustrating when used in congruence with DBI. But, as the doctor says when you ask "Doctor, I'm fat in some place!", simply don't use massive amounts of CGI-generated HTML with CGI::Application.
