I think the usefulness of this would come in setting up a nice
directory structure that includes directories for libraries,
templates, test scripts, and possibly even static html content like
images/css/js.  Secondly there is the usefulness of creating stub
files for the instance script, or an apache config file for mod_perl
usage, and stub files for tests.  Then you could have a template file
that is used to generate a stub for your project Base class, and other
classes, that automatically inherit from your personal system wide
Base class.

I think there is a lot that can be done automatically.  It may only
save 20 or 30 minutes at the start of a project, but I think more
importantly, it provides consistency between project layouts, and
possibly ease of distribution.

A lot of this stuff is done for you in Catalyst and some of the other
frameworks, and I think we could learn a lot from how they do things
(with an eye towards customizing the generation process to your
personal liking).

Cheers,

Cees
