But don't do it. Frameworks help reduce (but not eliminate) security flaws. If you're using Perl, use CGI.pm to interact with the browser.
CGI.pm is barely a framework (I think things like Mason, Cake, Rails... are better examples) and it's debatable whether the described application would get a net security benefit from using 5% of a framework instead of a Keep It Simple and Stupid approach.
