I would even go as far as, if you've used Perl objects, that would satisfy 
that requirement. (Most modules are oo... like DBI, CGI, etc).


On another thread, have you guys looked at maypole (Apache::MVC). If you're 
doing web-app development in perk, it deserves a glance.

This is a very mature implementation of a framework that only requires that 
you tell it about your database, and it automagically creates an app interface 
to it. It uses Class::DBI, mod_perl, and one of the popular templating modules 
(I forget which one). They are also working on plugging it into Mason for the 
front in piece.

The application will give you new, delete, list, edit, etc. funcitonality on 
your web object. And it exposes interfaces to extend the functionality. 
Maypole is 90% of all your web apps, and it is written to utilize current perl 
best practices.

There's a couple of good articles about it on perl.com
