I have some web development to do for the past month and I came across Catalyst framework for perl which simplifies the job a lot. It is an MVC framework which does all the routing one need, plus it has support for such good modules like Template Toolkit, Class::DBI and others. Another big advantage is that it has a small web developers web server which helps to troubleshoot many aspects during the development process and then the whole thing can be migrated to apache with a couple of moves only.
