Oh dear ... my brain was in neutral there. If running at all.

Thanks for not flaming me.

Sorry, this is not to flame you, but PHP isn't a mod_perl module. It's an
apache module. I know there are numerous good PHP variants, but I was
looking for a mod_perl one because I am more familiar with Perl and mod_perl
than anything else.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will look it up(the URL is
http://www.mawic.de/mwforum/  for anyone who cares.)

Now, you'll all have to excuse me, but I might have posted a little fast. I
found the Open Source continuations of the previous wwwthreads code on
Sourceforge by searching for "wwwthreads", and the Perl ones were:
FreeThreads, http://freethreads.sourceforge.net/
and Bazaar, http://www.icaap.org/Bazaar/

They both seem like strong contendants. But I am open to suggestions and
comments, there must be other alternatives out there.(mwforum is certainly
one)

You should have a look at Freshmeat (http://www.freshmeat.org).
Strangely enough, I was looking today, in tne 'internet/www' section and
noticed a lot of 'portal' and 'forum' type applicatons/systems. Many
seem to be PHP based (which runs as a modperl module).

Good luck!
