    You might like to check out the wwwboard script which is part of the nms project.

    I've looked at the source of pretty much all the popular message board scripts out there and none really strikes my fancy. ikonBoard seemed like one of the more decent ones, though.

    I couldn't find any that I liked and which I felt were appropriate for my site (a church website, where most users have not used discussion boards before). I wanted something which would be simple for non-computer experts to use, rather than lots of features, so I ended up writing my own (which I intend to release soon). What sort of system are you looking for?

    You can see the discussion board on our site. All output is via templates, so appearance is completely configurable if you know html.

    Update: URL now fixed - thanks Corion

    There are 134 Perl Discussion Boards listed at Hotscripts.

    Many of them are rated and/or reviewed by visitors - although a high rating doesn't necessarily mean the code itself is of a high quality.

      A high rating there most likely merely means it was easy to install for people with little background (which isn't bad, but is no indicator about the code quality) and looks cool (dito). I'd be surprised if even 10 of them hold up against a serious audit. (Strict/warnings? Taint? Proper validation of params? Escaping of returned user input (XSS)? Etc etc.)
