Bricolage
Bricolage is an open source content management system written in the Perl programming language. Although open source, Bricolage has been touted as an Enterprise Class CMS, competitive in features and capability to high end, high cost proprietary products. Originally designed to manage content for Salon.com, Bricolage is inherently a multi user CMS, designed to manage workflow for large websites with many contributors. Bricolage uses a template development model and completely separates presentation from the mangement of the content, thus the content management system can (and often does) live completely apart from the web site being managed. A distribution of GNU/Linux, BSD, Mac OSX, or Solaris, a Postgresql database environment, the Apache webserver, and mod_perl are needed to run Bricolage. Originally authored by David Wheeler, Bricolage is now maintained by a small group of core developers. Examples of web sites utilizing Bricolage include The World Health Organization, Rand Corporation, Macworld,ET online, Denison University, and the Bricolage home page.
