XMLBoard is an XML-driven multi-forum message board written in Perl. It stores its posts in XML format, and uses the Perl module XML::Parser to read them and show HTML to the users. It can be easily set up for several forums and several designs, with one administrator per forum. XMLBoard has other nifty features such as cookies to remember the users' names.
