There isn't a Perl application server like
ColdFusion, JBoss, etc. You can use Apache/mod_perl
for the foundation, and then, depending on how much
abstraction you want, build on that with modules.
As usual, Perl lets you decide what you need.

Template Toolkit[1] is PHP-done-right. If you want
more maintainable, MVC applications, check out
Maypole[2]. It amalgamates Class::DBI[3] and TT
into a J2EE/Rails-ish framework.
