One can read "a framework" as "a set of libraries". As you can see, there are libraries for many kinds of things a developer may stumble upon in web development (for example: cookies, JSON API, templating, web server). CGI module can handle GET/POST parameters, file uploads, HTTP headers, cookies, and build HTML for itself, too, and also allows you to build complex programs, being a part of a bigger system (HTTP Server + CGI script + Templating engine + Data Storage), while Mojo already incorporates "everything" (including signed cookies for session storage, templating engine, a web server...), which makes building both simple and complex applications easier.
Right now I'm writing a CMS for the site of a local progressive rock fan club (it's a strange thing that there are no good CMS's written in such a good web framework, or did I miss something?). A lot of things are already done for me by Mojo, signed cookies help a lot, the most hard part was the database (which I have to implement myself since Mojo is database agnostic). My suggestion is to start writing your web UI in Mojolicious::Lite and see how it goes.

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).
