I agree. The frameworks seem like the typical good idea that turns into a nightmare because of the "devils in the details." I'm not familiar with all of them. (I'm thinking of Catalyst, primarily.). It's one thing to see a pattern of activity. But, by the time the framework accommodates all the exceptions, it's worse than the illness it sought to cure. There's a steeper learning curve for Catalyst than there is for ordinary CGI (or, a helper like C::A). I don't see how that would ever be repaid over time by not having to do things like calling the template output routine.
