Plone is a content management system (CMS) based on the Content
Management Framework (CMF) based on the Zope web application server
 
> From plone.org. It says "Plone is powerful and flexible. It is ideal as an

Plone (in specific Zope) needs a web server to serve HTML pages. You
can use the builtin Medusa for that or Apache for larger environments.
mod_perl enables Apache without Zope to execute Python scripts (CGI).
