We have about 8-10 e-commerce sites to build. The sites all need customized look and feel, and we would really like to use TT2 as the base templating engine because we have experience with it, and it has worked very well for us on other projects. We're looking for ways to reduce the amount of coding that we have to do to build these sites, and especially the coding needed to build an administrative backend to allow people to edit content, products, upload images, change prices, edit info pages, etc.. but haven't found anything that is TT2-based that really addresses that.

Are there any other perl + TT2 applications or frameworks that might be a better fit?
_MY_ personal preference at the moment: Catalyst (http://www.catalystframework.org/ or CPAN) + DBIx::Class::Loader; + some perl glue + a designer Works with TT2 as default, also has nice development scripts which come with it very quick to get stuff developed. It's still a little rough round the edges but I'd recommend it. If the sites become VERY popular you may want to reinvest in developing the user side of it in your own perl and leaving the admin as Catalyst - but that's once your making your millions from all that traffic :) We built http://www.mightyv.com/ with this and it worked very well.
