The resources that were pointed out were great! For large web apps MVC is great, especially when combined with XML and XSLT. It is certainly not a "panacea" as someone stated in an earlier post. Mod_perl can function as an application server. I don't know a whole lot about this, but I know it can be done. I am currently looking into playing around with mod_perl in an application server setting. Cache::Cache seems promising for keeping objects around. MVC type code offers a good separation of work flow from business logic and view logic. Not sure what transaction management packages are out there now.
I am not sure of what app server products/projects are out there now for Perl (maybe some were mentioned earlier). The building blocks are definitely there. I am sure someone has assembled, or is assembling, them to serve as a turn key app server. I'd like to hear more about projects that manage session state across a web farm, allow for remote objects, transaction management, etc...
