I was also thinking of putting together a diagram / chart of different possible architectures suitable for an enterprise web application..
stuff like Tangram / Pixie / Class::DBI providing object persistance
engines like OpenFrame and ENGINE::MVC powering the core of the application server
that kind of stuff
Good idea. Many people get lost in the expanse of CPAN and end up not realizing how much value they could be getting from it. I'm giving a talk at the O'Reilly Perl conference this year on O/R database tools like Tangram, Class::DBI, etc. Tools for structuring applications, like CGI::Application, OpenFrame, etc. have not received a solid comparison yet.
