I also came from Apache/mod_perl/SQL and it's kind of hard to get rid
of this... :)

Unfortunately, there's no easy and perfect way to find a solution
that's better for you - it depends on your problem domain and your
preferences. I'm afraid you'll have to play around with a couple of
alternatives and see for yourself (and come back here with specific
questions if needed). Really, install stuff and try it, it doesn't
suffice to just skim a few documentation pages.

Things you could/should try:

1. BKNR <http://bknr.net/>

That's a complete framework for websites including persistent
storage, and it comes with good documentation. No Apache or SQL
involved... :)

2. Look at Lisp-y databases like Plob! or Elephant.

<http://plob.sf.net/>
<http://common-lisp.net/project/elephant/>

3. Checkout CLSQL's object-oriented layer atop SQL.

Search CLiki for more.
