I thought that you maybe already had a WebGUI content and that you
now want to switch to FreeBSD server. Again, you can try to make WebGUI
working; but build WebGUI only (with --wre), not other things,
including Perl. Build them from their FreeBSD ports and link WebGUI
scripts with them.

Of course, there are many of them, they are inside www (www/plone,
www/joomla, www/tikiwiki...). I recommend you to start a new thread
about CMS ideas, this will pass unnoticed under current subject. Write
exactly what features/capabilities you need (Perl-based?
wiki-like? ...), and people with experience with them will answer (I
have never used any, except little TikiWiki, long ago).
