OpenInteract
OpenInteract is an extensible Web application server written in pure Perl. It includes a robust system of components, object-oriented data access, a consistent security scheme for both tasks and data objects, a simple user and group management system, and a convenient packaging system that makes it easy to distribute custom applications, amongst other things. It is stable, and runs out of the box on five different databases.

That's odd, because a major company in Germany uses OpenInteract for an intranet site hit by thousands of people. They're pleased as punch. And the only thing constraining the speed of the installation on my site is the crummy upstream bandwidth :-)
Maybe if you had some more specific complaints we could work through them to make it better for everyone.

application interface seems pretty slow and kind of makes one leary at the idea of designing products around it.
