I used Rose98 (not Rose98i), and it's quite nice. Has a lot of small glitches in display and automatic layout, but not enough problems to be really annoying.
Overall works like you expect, or maybe it's better to expect it to work like it does, to avoid a nervous breakdown:-)
And the deletion issue: DEL is for removing from the current display (diagram), Control-D for removing from the model (this is the really strong removal). Similar features are in other design tools in the same class, e.g. Power Designer: when you delete an object it shows a dialog to choose between the two modes of deletion. If you think about this, Rationel Rose's way may be more convenient. YMMV.
Test it with -w, OK, but do not leave it with -w when deploying to the site... All you "achieve" this way is increased probability of crash, while the code would run just fine without -w. The actual behaviour depends on the error handling you use for CGI, but the risk of crashing due to warnings increases anyway.
And yes, "use strict" is your best friend.

"Man pages. Learn perl from the man pages."
Yes, the man pages are good, but...
"Screw the camel/lama, whatever, it's all the same stuff written by the same people."
... DO NOT "Screw the camel"! The turquoise camel book (perl5) is great, even if its content matches closely the man pages. I use it instead of the man pages, which are searchable. The indexing and organization of the book are really good!
And think nice about the people who put valuable content in the man pages, instead of making it an incentive to buy the book. The turquoise camel book is worth the money anyway!

Please, do not run production code with -w!
