It doesn't sound like a bad idea. I used to do it that way. (Now I
use a lot of AJAX calls).

Why not:
<%init>
if ($ARGS{submit} {
#take care of the submitted data
}
#rest of component
</%init>
% if ($ARGS{submit} {
<!-- More of component if submitted -->
% }
<!-- Rest of component if submitted -->

instead of:
sub Routine { do something }
do:
$Routine = sub { do something }

You could put some of your common functions into a module. I'm
unclear about your concerns with the SQL. What's the problem with
"inserts, deletes, updates, and selects to the same table"?
