i'm reworking a site from the ground up. the old one is horribly bloated, all static HTML, basically every maintenance nightmare one can think of. i'm sick of cutting and pasting new content into static pages.

i have a small volunteer team working with me. one of them has suggested postnuke as the CMS to use. i'm not adverse to using PHP, but for familiarity's sake i'd rather use a perl-based solution

i know that Everything and Slash are out there, but what experience have my fellows had with small teams of designers and these? are there perhaps 'better' CMS out there for something like this ( a small team of non-programmers who can make pretty pictures and might have some PHP knowledge and no perl knowledge )

i have no issue using postnuke if it turns out to be the best tool for the job, but since i'm still in the requirements gathering and tool evaluation phase, i want to make sure i get the most bang for my buck.
