CGI::Application Rocks!!  Maypole, Catalyst, Ruby on Rails are all
better, but MUCH heavier.  If you want lightweight MVC with a short
learning curve, CGI::Application and HTML::Template.

This remids me.  HTML::Template is supported on lots of languages.  Off
the top of my head I believe that the HTML::Template engine exists for
Ruby, Python, PHP, C++, Java, and, oh yeah... perl.  Probably lots more
now.  that list is from a year or tow ago.
