IMHO, it shouldnt be that difficult if you make some good assumptions.
For example, how difficult will it be to maintain the following package:
1. Assume Perl 5.5.3 OR 5.6.0
2. Assume latest Apache and static mod_perl
3. Assume latest Apache::DBI, Apache::Session,
4. Assume latest HTML::Mason (I cant speak for the others, yet)
5. Assume latest MySQL
Now, with the above, I think we can maintain a basic demo, templating
system with session management using Apache::DBI fairly easily.
