Dear Monks
I'm creating the websites for a few pm.org for the brazilian Perl Mongers, and need advice about content management. I would love to know about the solutions other PM Groups adopted and about Perl+Apache+Linux+${favorite_database} solutions produced success cases on this matter.

In a few words, its impossible for the PM.org groups here to build the websites by hand. There are not enough Perl programmers for such a task. An automated solution or framework would be the best deal.

Thank you all very much for your advice and experiences.

Update:I'm reading Content management system recommendations? and don't like the Zope of Everything ideas. The first is not a CMS (I'll use mod_perl for the same effect) and the former is a lot mode complex than I can afford.

Another Update:I use TWiki at work now, and it's great for some simple tasks. But I need some extras that I don't know for sure if this is the best solution, as slurping XML from other places to fill in news and info clipping sections.

Yet Another Update:I'll read on and discover the advantages and disvantages of using

"In few words, translating PerlMonks documentation and best articles to other languages is like building a bridge to join other Perl communities into PerlMonks family. This makes the family bigger, the knowledge greater, the parties better and the life easier." -- monsieur_champs
