A very long time ago (12 years?) I used phpbb and I liked it. It kind
of doesn't meet your specs for Perl and easy to use (it needs a
database back end). I don't remember any scary file permissions issues
but times were different back then. I think I tried yabb and didn't
use it for some reason, maybe the same reason as yours?
