Well, there are lots of frameworks already. Mason and OpenInteract come to 
mind first. I've been seeing more and more perl jobs looking for Mason 
experience. And then there are the individual components that make up these 
frameworks, like Apache::Session, Template Toolkit, etc. It seems to be 
more common to build a custom framework w/ these components rather than use 
a Zope-like product.
