BBS/forum software
Does anyone have any recommendations for BBS/forum software (aka message
boards) that runs well on mod_perl? I was looking at YABB, which is
very pretty and full-featured but the code seems really ugly (not a
single "strict" or "package" in it). The wwwboard script from NMS is
good code but too simple (I need the standard threaded message board
features). This leaves me with mwForum, which is at least specifically
intended to run under mod_perl, but uses in-line HTML with no templating
system.
Is there something better out there?

I have some experience using Gossamer Threads Forum:
http://gossamer-threads.com/scripts/gforum/index.htm
It's not free, but at $200 it's pretty cheap. Runs under mod_perl, has
a templating system, and my favorite: it has a plugin architecture that
lets you override just about any of its functions with your own code.
It was easy for us to integrate it with our own user
database/authentication/authorization system without changing the core
code.
