I have module called Application which handles all the requests to the site (except for images, etc) and then dispatches the request to a different module based on the $r->path_info().
Apache::Dispatch could do this for you if you like. You could also just use httpd.conf to map locations to modules. Your approach wil work fine though.
I am thinking about creating a Template Toolkit object and a DBI handle in Application::handler() and storing it in the request object's pnotes() before dispatching the request.
Make sure you keep the template object around between requests in a global. If you make a new TT object every time, you will break the caching of compiled templates and performance will be poor.
