I am in a fairly unique, and nice, position right now. I have been asked to re-develop the internal web site we use within our company. The current web site is written in ASP 3.0 and makes use of some fairly crufty slow code to get the job done.

Recently, I was tasked with re-evaluating our situation and recommending a new solution. I have looked at Zope and while it looks nice, Python's support for web services is somewhat lacking and the documentation largely consists of API descriptions and short simple tutorials.

I am also looking into using .NET and Perl as possibilities for replacing our current application. Since Perl and python will both run on practically any piece of hardware and any platform, they are logically my first choices. However, I was wondering if there are any applications with similar functionality to Zope that have been written using Perl.

I'm looking for something that provides fairly complete CMS features, but also can integrate with LDAP for user authentication, supports SOAP::Lite, and which can be extended easily and quickly.
