Apache::Dispatch (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Apache-Dispatch) is on
lightweight end of the spectrum, one step removed from writing your
application using PerlResponseHandlers. I'm not sure it qualifies as a
framework though, maybe just a request framework. It has been measured
as almost as fast as straight response handlers (assuming that hasn't
changed from 0.09 to 0.10).
