My site is currently running a lot of Perl CGI scripts using a custom templating system. (LAMP-based). The website also has several thousand SHTML files containing static content.
I would like to upgrade to a more robust CMS system,
There are way too many scripts to re-write. What is a relatively painless way to move to a CMS without re-writing all of the Perl scripts?
Are there script converters that will facilitate such a move?
Which CMS is appropriate given this starting point?
Is it required for the CMS to be Perl-based, or does this even matter? i.e. is there a way to run Perl scripts from within Joomla?
thanks in advance.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
