A very long time ago (12 years?) I used phpbb and I liked it. It kind of doesn't meet your specs for Perl and easy to use (it needs a database back end). I don't remember any scary file permissions issues but times were different back then. I think I tried yabb and didn't use it for some reason, maybe the same reason as yours? Andy
