My own approach was to use CGI::Application. The advantage I found was that a) support for HTML::Template is built-in, thus allowing me to use any template design I want. b) I can create a super-class that can auto-magically take care of session and user management each time one of my scripts runs. Basically it looks like this:
script.cgi:
use MySite::SubClass;
my $webapp = MySite::SubClass->new();
$webapp->run();
MySite::SubClass:
package MySite::SubClass;
use MySite::SuperClass;
sub setup {
# setup runmodes and script specific stuff
# ...templates perhaps?
}
# …
# runmodes subs and whatnot :)
# …
1;
MySite::SuperClass:
package MySite::SuperClass;
use base 'CGI::Application';
use CGI;
# other modules here..
sub cgiapp_init {
my $self = shift;
# create database handler
# do session management
}
sub teardown {
my $self = shift;
# dbh->disconnect
}
# …
# other functions
# …
1;
You can then create MySite::SubClass2 (etc…) which all use MySite::SuperClass and thus have session management taken care of.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
