Jason,

This is a nice start, and would be nice to have a wiki format to
collaborate on this more. Kwiki's pod format would be ideal, since we
all know POD, and the result can directly become the documentation. 

Some bigger picture things:

- Like CGI::App::Generator, it needs allow people to use their own
  templates. It may be that to generate scaffolding for a new BREAD
  application just means using a different template.

- In instance script is also nice to generate. I do this with
  C::A::Generator. I know there is not much in them, but does avoid
  typos in the package name. 

- It should work with an ".cgi-app-starter" file for defaults. For
  example, I may want to always use testing and darcs.

- Maybe this should be a sub-class of Module::Starter, which is also  
  maintained by a C::A user now, "Ricardo Signes".

Some detail things:

- "cvs" is not a generic term. Use "scm" instead, for "source control
  management".

- I'm not sure what "usecasc" means. I recommend "use-base".

    Mark
