Would you mind sharing what they are?

CGI::Application has a number of plugins now that make it more
interesting. Apache::PageKit might be interesting to you as well.

It's a whole lot simpler than Struts or Spring...

I like Hibernate too, but you kind of sound like you're seeking an
impossible middle ground. How can something provide more than the
current perl web frameworks and yet be simpler than OpenInteract? Is

other than a huge user community and the commercial documentation that
goes along with that?
