I can only consider this as an excellent opportunity to be consistent with the approach of reuse of components in Perl modules and Javascript and to consolidate to the two archive networks.

There may be some pain now in the conversion but there is more to gain later.

Have looked at Maypole and Catalyst but then found Jifty and have stayed around to learn and find out more.
