I used the same comparison you did, and I ended up going with Django-
CMS. I like it a lot.
As for importing the content, that should be pretty easy. Once you
see how Django-CMS works you'll just need to make a simple HTML
template and then transfer the data from your old database into the
appropriate places.
However, if you only just discovered Django this weekend, I think
there will be a learning curve you need to overcome before trying to
understand Django-CMS (or any other large reusable Django app). I
recommend reading "The Definitive Guide to Django," and
supplementing it with questions on this list. In that order -- if
you ask questions here before doing the reading yourself you'll just
end up dependent on others and they'll lose interest in doing your
work for you.
Welcome to Django! I did Perl before Python as well, and now Python
is my favorite language, by far. Also, as has been noted many times
before, if you're not that comfortable with Python, a lot of your
questions about how to do something 'in Django' is really how to do
it in Python. Django is Python. I hope my rambling is helpful.

Thanks very much for your advice Shawn and Timothy.
Taking your advice I will keep my first priority to continue studying
Python, at the moment I'm reading Building Skills in Python by Steven
F. Lott. (I'm open to suggestions if you have other books I should be
reading) Once I'm comfortable with Python I'll read "The Definitive
Guide to Django" as you suggested. I've already installed Django on my
Server and ran the tutorial part one and tow and so I will play with
it in parallel.
Thanks for the advice and the Welcome, I'm excited about learning
Python, if only it was accepted at work I could start writing in
Python instead of Perl but at the moment Python is not yet recognized
by our build system!
Thanks and Regards,
Jerry
