Sympa is written in Perl, but there was a little confusion in my email 
as it doesn't use CGI::Application. What I was saying was that the site 
www.perlportal.com (not yet live) will be using a new CGI::Application 
based CMS.

I vote to use a Perl based system, and Sympa is certainly the best one. 
The PerlPortal project aims to address the issue of out dated and ageing 
Perl sites, providing modern, new, Perl powered alternatives. It would 
be great if the CGI::Application mailing list was a part of this. More 
details about the PerlPortal.com project are here http://wiki.perlportal.com
