About the intention to eliminate LaTeX, I think, you can have something like templates in XML or DocBook, and then convert to other formats, including LaTeX. In fact, one of the features that I like is that I can make invoices in LaTeX. A few years ago, talked with a partner to migrate the first leg of the CGI-oriented code in SQL-Ledger to Catalyst, they are not like the idea of bringing the CGI code to Catalyst Framework? You could also use HTML:: FormFu to the forms. On the view, I think it would be nice to use jQuery, I'm a fan of jQuery. Additionally, add support for LDAP authentication and roles is easy with Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Store::LDAP A hug.
