Yes, you are using a perl portal ... perlmonks which is based on the everything. I've used Kwiki as a "portal" and liked it. Maybe you should define what you mean by a portal and then we can answer your question better. CMS (Content Management Systems) are often forms of portals and there are numerous perl implementations but maybe that's not what you're after.	[reply]

Use of a portal designed to provide access to multiple application via channel portlet, with single sign on. Where users can customize their colors and sometimes the skin layout.	[reply]

I find that definition to be about the same as the definition for "website" and not very helpful in determining what you are looking for.	[reply]

Tell me what you mean by "perl portal". And please also explain the word "portal" if it's not absolutely clear. I've been a professional web developer for years now, and I'm still not sure what people mean when they use that term. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"

"portal" means highly efficient integrated distributed solution, it deploys only leader software techniques, quality approved bla-bla-bla-bla...... :) joking!	[reply]

I'm not sure if you are talking about CMS, if yes you can try WebGUI. Solli Moreira Honorio Sao Paulo - Brazil	[reply]

I've been a bit of a heretic lately & using Drupal (php based) for that kind of work. I recommend checking out the CMS Matrix, you can easily use it to search for ones that might be interesting by features, platform and language. I have not yet tried it myself, but I have heard good buzz around WebGUI as a portal platform. A recent perlcast had an interview about it. Les	[reply]

Metadot is a Perl portal. I've not used it myself, but I've heard that it's well reguarded from people that have used it. Googling "Perl Portal" returns a helluva lot of results.	[reply]
