I have sought similar and similarly found no all-in-one solution for my stuff. What I did come up with is HTML::FormValidator, which does some HTML form validation, but the validation isn't fully to my taste because I want synchronous JavaScript and Perl validation, or rather, JavaScript regular expression validation to save some round trips, which is fed from the Perl code / a database.
The one thing I've come up with which I like better than your approach is dividing the single pages into unlinked single pages and having an external structure that defines the order of my pages, like so :
my @pageorder = qw(welcome address notify done);
my %pages = {
"welcome" => \&page_welcome;
"address" => \&page_address;
"notify" => \&page_notify;
"done" => \&page_done;
};
my %validators = {
"welcome" => \&validate_welcome;
"address" => \&validate_address;
"notify" => \&validate_notify;
"done" => \&validate_done;
};
but as you see, my layout is still mostly linear. Having some tree-like paths would be interesting and with my approach, the navigation component can be abstracted, but I haven't found a nice and good way to implement the chosen path (calling all possible validators isn't an option in a non-linear graph anymore :-) ).

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).
