I've been playing with Catalyst this week and I have found it compares very favorably to CGI::Application in terms of functionality and capabilities. It wins big in that it promotes the use of Class::DBI and Template Toolkit, which are the richer offerings in their respective categories.
The only reason, in my opinion, to use CGI::Application over Catalyst is that CGI::Application has a longer track record. If that isn't a big factor for you, use Catalyst.
