Mapping URLs to methods in your class. Catalyst has a lot of funtionality for this, as you'll see if you browse the docs. Not sure about Jifty. CGI::Application has code for using either query strings (/catalog/product.cgi?rm=show) or a more REST-like approach (/catalog/product/show).

I noticed Catalyst is pretty good to go as far as that goes. I'm thinking Catalyst is the way to go for me, Jifty seems a bit restricted. I could write a base framework for the small apps in C::A, then do all my big stuff with Catalyst. Thanks for the definition :-)

URL dispatching is available with CGI::Application, it available through CGI::Application::Dispatch. That's the trend with CGI::Application: less weight built-in by default, but lots of options for extensions and plug-ins.
