Re^2: Perl based forum code that has good API

Not so sure but, the only "maintained" Perl based forums are YaBB & e-Blah.

On what grounds are you discounting mwForum?

mwForum doesn't have an external API feature either, but unlike most of the inexplicably popular UBB clones it does have an internal plugin API, meaning you can extend it without modifying the original code.

+1 for mwForum, supports SQLite, PostgreSQL and MySQL backends and runs under mod_perl, which is everything I was looking for but couldn't find when I settled for YaB earlier this year (for some reason I didn't find it, and I guess neither did the author of the post above. I will have to look into how feasible importing the YaB data into it will be.	[reply]

YaBB 3 will support MySQL and SQLite, and we're hoping to support at least FastCGI and possibly mod_perl. If you can wait until April of next year (our planned release) you may be better off just sticking with YaBB. For more information, you can check out the YaBB 3 development site.	[reply]

Well, if anyone finds this later looking for the same thing, right now I'm looking at: mwForum - http://www.mwforum.org/ bbBoardv2 - http://www.bbv2.com/ slash - http://slashdot.org/faq/code.shtml (no photos though?)	[reply]
