Look at Mango and Handel, both on cpan (and github iirc) - they are a
good foundation to build on, and could do with somebody picking up the
baton.

Mango is a f/w that extends/buildson/forks Handel, and they're both
Catalyst - they're aren't a "drop in and go" solution and I'm not even
sure they're finished, but when I was spec'ing out a large e-commerce
project for a freelance client they appeared from my reading through
the author's blogs and the code itself to do the lions share of heavy
lifting.
