OK, I'll accept that answer.

But, to follow up the "tighter integration" part of the answer:  Is 
there a good
example/resource that shows how this is done?  I really like the way that I
get the right code running with CGI::Application::Dispatch, but I'd like 
to know
where I should be looking to make this go to "the next step".

Thanks for any pointers.
