It would be nice to have a comment about the possible structures of $cmddef,
here at the top where it's declared.
I think you got a good overview of the capabilities of this class so this
would be really great, e.g. describe simple vs non-simple commands, aliases,
the new sub commands, ... in a few lines.

the different quotation styles look a bit funny ^^

I'd put this below in the other `if(defined($args->{cmd}))` branch,
saves you an condition in the if here

I'd use variables and not always just operate with $args-> as it
makes it a bit harder to read. E.g., something like:

    # Set the defaults
    my $sortfunc = $args->{sortfunc} // sub { sort keys %{$_[0]}; };
    my $base = $args->{base} // $cmddef;
    my $prefix = $args->{prefix} // $exename;
    my $pwcallback = $args->{pwcallback} // $cli_handler_class->can('read_password');
    my $stringfilemap = $args->{stringfilemap} // $cli_handler_class->can('string_param_file_mapping');
    my $separator = $args->{sect_sep} // '';
    my $indent = $args->{indent} // '';

    # 
    my $cmd = $args->{cmd};
    if ($cmd) {
        $cmd = $cmddef->{$args->{cmd}}->{alias}
            if ref($cmddef->{$cmd}) eq 'HASH' && $cmddef->{$cmd}->{alias};
        ...
    }

@cmd is $ARGV[0]
$args is @ARGV[1:] (all but the first element)

here...

> +    unshift @$args, shift @$cmd;

and now @cmd is empty and $args is again @ARGV,
this seems really wrong/weird

pass cmd as a normal scalar ref (string) and declare a new array here
if you need it.
Or just pass \@ARGV to this method, it has already all the information
but please do not split it to re-combine directly here again.

as alternative for above you could also always:

foreach my $arg ($cmd, @$args) {
    ... #
}

> +    my $base = $def;

if we do the cleanup patch before this I'd use $def for the "$cmddef" iterator
base is a bit ambiguos and $expand_command_name uses also $def.

> +    while (scalar(@$args) > 0) {

please use foreach if you loop just over all array elements.

> +	last if (ref($base) eq 'ARRAY');
> +	# Auto-complete commands
> +	push @$cmd, &$expand_command_name($base, shift @$args);
> +	$base = $base->{$cmd->[-1]};

With a foreach and a sane value $iterator this should get easier to read

> +	    # If command is an alias, reset $base and move to aliased command

Sounds like it could be done in recursion?

> +	    undef(@$cmd);
> +	    while (@alias) {

If this would be used here it could be done with:

unshift @$args, split(/ +/, $base->{alias}); # assuming that $args is @ARGV[1:] not @ARGV[0:]
$base = $def; $cmd = [];


And you do not check for potentially alias loops.
I'd just allow one level of alias for now, everything else
is currently not needed.

what if `qm help create 100`, the /^-/ heuristics fails here.

Just consume the next word and check if ther may be a (sub) command
for it in a loop, on the first failure you know that there may not
be any help for this and abort?

why an array? after this cmd is just the first parameter of the CLI call,
e.g., with:
# pveum foo bar
cmd is here then 'foo', you then pass a reference to it down to
$handle_cmd->()
Why not just keep the
my $cmd = shift @ARGV;
?

Then you would not need to change all $cmd calls in the $handle_cmd sub to $cmd->[0];

You remove this all in the next cleanup patch, would it make sense
to move (parts) of the cleanup in front of this patch? 
If its already cleaned up the new sub command paths may be a bit easier to
review, especially as things get only added once and not added then removed.
