I think we should drop 'CGI' from the name. It has a very negative connotation with some people. They think that CGI scripts are 1990's web even though almost all dynamic web sites operate over the CGI protocol. Web::Application? Web::App ?
I agree, and I don't think we should wait for Perl6 to do this. Perl5 will be here for a /long time/.
I think "Web::Application" is a logical choice. I think it would be easy to publish a distribution where "CGI::Application" continued to work as a synonym, (think "use base 'Web::Application'. :), so there would be backwards compatibility.
In parallel, I'd like to see more full-featured frameworks, like CGI::Application::Framework, which are built-on top of this, and that have flashier names of their own. In the past, our conversation was focused more along these lines.
