I've been working on a CMS for the last year or so but I would be
up for working on a similar project with other people.
Is anyone really serious about creating a new CMS based on perl
and TT? I have a lot of the framework for a CMS that I designed by
myself in my project, but I've started to think and redesign how it
should work. You can look at a solution diagram I scribbled here:

All input is welcome.

The problem is, no two people on earth agree about what a "content
management" system is. Some people think it's the ability to edit web pages
through a browser text field. Others think its version control. Still
others think it's workflow and templating for data. As you've discovered
though, about 99% of the open source world thinks 'Content Management
System' eq 'Slashdot'.
Building a useful system would be fun. I've considered building something
to handle static files by hooking up mod_perl with CVS and providing a web
GUI for basic site workflow. I've also considered building a system that
provides workflow, scheduling, and versioning for user-defined data objects,
probably using OpenInteract. The trouble is, with so little agreement about
goals and requirements, it's hard to get started without an actual project
that needs it.
