Here are some of them. I've wondered, from time to time, why there isn't an object publishing system, a la Zope, for Perl hackers. Here are three Perl projects that locate themselves in that space. Iaijutsu is an open source object-oriented Web content management and application framework written with Perl. In other words, solve all the common problems of Web programming once and get on to the more interesting stuff.
Content refers to the raw text, images, and data that comprise a site.
And Logic is comprised of the rules and behavior of the Web application. The prolific Slashdot book reviewer known as chromatic is also the author of a Perl-based object web server called Jellybean , another project hosted on SourceForge . It's easy to extend, too, and fix bugs, if you know Perl. The only modules it requires are available from both CPAN and ActiveState in PPM form. The Beanstalk Beanpack makes it easy to add new features while the server runs.
