I briefly looked at STAF. In my opinion, I'd go with Robot Framework.
It's a more user and developer friendly platform. Easy to use by testers (non-developers) and has good specification on how to develop for it, and cross platform support for different languages/platforms via remote library interface.
It's pretty complex still, but to me less complex than STAF and more clearly and well documented than STAF. Plus you don't have to deal with XML, unless you want to.
There's already Perl support for it.
