I had 8-9 apps running as custom mp2 modules (not really in any framework.) I did a few things in Catalyst, but it never really lit my candle. Perlbal for reverse proxy. I used Postgres a lot, but eventually realized that sqlite3 was good enough for what I was doing most of the time.
Of late, I've been wanting to go to PSGI or node.js, but I haven't taken the plunge yet. Many of my mod_perl apps relied on client-side PKI and SSL renegotiation, which I don't think can be done in PSGI, (or at least not well) and mod_perl really shines by having hooks for all phases of request handling.
