You should really check out OpenInteract (http://www.openinteract.org). It sounds like it has a lot of the hooks you're looking for (user management, templates, online content editing, etc) as well as a few you'll be looking for later (security, session management). It is built on mod_perl and the Template Toolkit as well as many other standard CPAN modules.

Are any of the packages mentioned particularly suited to client
content management packages where the client can manage some
limeted page content text/graphics but not really mess with the
overall page layout and site content. I'm about to start researching
this but would like input from the "experts".
