calzonia has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

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. tom
