Let's assume that for some reason you have to write it from scratch and re-using an existing "web message board" codebase is not an option - all you can use is well-tested CPAN modules like DBI and CGI.pm etc.
Well, SlashCode and E2 are both in the same status as CPAN modules, and are both readily available for stealing parts or just seeing "how you do it". In particular, Slashcode runs
http://www.slashdot.com (a high-traffic, high-visibility site), and is highly reconfigurable: enough that you wouldn't recognize the externals.
It's perfectly OK to "reinvent wheels", presuming you study existing art first.
Please don't ask us to spoonfeed to you what these guys have already discovered. Check
out prior art first!

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
