I released Test::WWW::Selenium::CGIApp to CPAN this weekend:

http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Test::WWW::Selenium::CGIApp

Selenium is an alternative to Test::WWW::Mechanize that actually automates
actions in real browsers like Firefox, so to run automated tests with it is
like watching web browsing in fast forward.  

This module could be helpful if you want to test a CGI::Application-based
project with Selenium and you don't want to involve a traditional web
server such as Apache. It could be useful when working offline or on a
personal desktop.

If you would rather test the application through a web-server, using
Test::WWW::Selenium would be a better choice.

It works by starting a Selenium server for you, as well as a
HTTP::Server::Simple web server, which then servers your perl application
directly. 

I haven't personally used this for anything real yet. I was curious how all
these pieces fit together, and it looked like it would be really fast to
port the related module from Catalyst to work with CGI::Application. It
was.
