Theory writes "Announcing the release of Bricolage 1.3.0, a 100% Perl content management and publishing system. This is a development release for the forthcoming 1.4.0 release. It features many bug fixes planned for the forthcoming 1.2.1 release, as well as a new feature: A SOAP server. The SOAP server will enable automatic publishing of content, as well as importing and exporting assets."
"Here's a brief description of Bricolage:
Bricolage is a full-featured, opne-source, enterprise-class content management system. It offers a browser-based interface for ease-of use, a full-fledged templating system with complete programming \ language support for flexibility, and many other features. It operates in an Apache/mod_perl environment, and uses the PostgreSQL RDBMS for its repository.
More information on Bricolage can be found on its home page and it can be downloaded from SourceForge."
Although there is a current lack of Howto-style documentation, the code is very well documented, the mailing lists are easy to follow. You could leverage any Mason skills immediately, and the code is modular enough to envision where YOUR next feature contrib would go.
Thanks to the Bric team for giving me a great reason not to use Zope! (much respect to them, too! but its not Perl!)

Thanks for the warm fuzzies, drowsy. Actually, I might be willing to write up some sort of design document for perl.com or something. In fact, I was thinking of submitting a paper propsal to the O'Reilly conference on building large applications in Perl. Just need to find the tuits...
