&lt;p&gt;I'm still at the CGI end at the moment.  Want to move onto mod_perl soon though&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've used [cpan://CGI::FormBuilder] combined with [cpan://Template|TT2] successfully.  You could look at [cpan://HTML::Template] as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I attempt to separate content from markup from style from processing and use stylesheets for style, [cpan://Template|TT2] to display content and markup and CGI::FormBuilder to specify and process the content where applicable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not sure where that is in the MVC world - not sure I have got *there* yet - but I'll agree the mojolicious site has some prettiness to it.  However, there is no reason why a site can't be pretty when the processing is done with Perl.  After all, the styling is in the CSS not the CGI.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think it is more of an attitude about what a site *should* look like and also audience attitude.  My first impression of mojolicious is that of dumbing-down - not saying the site does that by any means - just that is my first impression.  That is my personal reaction to mojolicious genre of styling out there but then I came to interpret a different style of site as informative.  &lt;/p&gt;</field>
