You might be interested in a project that was recently started in the
Perl community: Perl 5 Enterprise Environment (P5EE, or one of the other
names they've been tossing about). Check out p5ee.perl.org for details;
a lot of the brainstorming has been done on the mailing list, so you
might also want to check the archives.

Cheers,

Neil
