Catalyst based CMSs

According to cms.wikia.com/wiki/Impl these are the current Catalyst (so esp. implemented in perl)
 based CMSs:
Can anybody help me selecting "the right one"?

O, what do I want to use it for?
I got a few web-sites, most of them more or less plain text (HTML!), generated from DocBook, and I want them to look a little more spicy, maybe with a left and a right column and all that.
Alright, coming from DocBook maybe I should also have a look at DocBook website, a variant of DocBook for dealing with websites. But I want to consider the alternatives.

WHat about MojoMojo wiki (also Catalyst-based)?

Although I've tried neither of them, they both look rather immature and don't seem to have a lively community which will definitely come back and bite you :)

For serious stuff I can wholeheartedly recommend Bricolage (http://www.bricolagecms.org) but it might just be too much for your purpose. Also worth mentioning is Krang (http://www.krangcms.com/) and of course MovableType if you're looking for a more blog-like "CMS". I have heard good things about WebGUI but the GUI part of it is just making me physically sick :) None of them are using Catalyst though.

To be honest, compared to, say the PHP world, there aren't really any other good examples of Perl CMSs out there which is why we opted to roll our own with Catalyst.

Thank you so far for these 2 feedbacks, I am glad, that I asked. Thanks for the pointer to MojoMojo,
there may well be a context, where I will give MojoMojo a try, but not for this job, als I already have DocBook resp. HTML to make use of. Thanks so far.

As the author of EasyCMS2, I can say that I don't think you want to choose that one :p

but if you do, the link on wikia is all wrong, it lives on github now:

this is the comment I had lost (as a comment), so I rather add it this way:
