Maybe not Zope, but how about Plone? I haven't used it. This node suggests that it's easy to install, and it has a good reputation. If you want a Perl solution why not Bricolage - but it may be more complex than you need... If your budget can stretch to $129 per server with unlimited sites (share the cost with someone else!), then have a look at Big Medium which is a very nice and easy to configure, Perl-based CMS.

But really, the issue of Perl CMSs comes up every now and then on this site. A quick search should set you on your way...
