Thanks very much for your reply Stephen, and thanks also to Matt and Dave for their advice.
I just downloaded Alzabo, and it looks like it's exactly what I needed to see how all the pieces actually fit together. I'm currently using HTML::Mason 1.03, so I don't think I'll grab the CPAN version of that just yet. I've been using objects fairly consistently for a little while, and have been adding in some eval blocks at the more obvious potential failure points in my code, but all handling is very local. I think I'll be able to apply what I see Dave doing in Alzabo to what I'm doing and get much broader error coverage. And just to keep this post somewhat on topic, I feel I'm already benefiting from the p5ee effort because it's already pointing me to better programming practices, and better ways to do those in perl. I was pleasantly surprised to see the very clean documentation that Stephen has set up; sure it's not complete, but what's there is good by and large, and it's well organized and easily navigated. Keep up the good work!

It is a database abstraction layer. He is also the author of Exception::Class, which you will see used in Alzabo.
