I feel guilty twice, not only I built a CMS, but I also made a templating system; it seems to be a common sin here :)

Besides that, the first CMS has been the most exciting project I've ever done. I'm still convinced that my approach was different from the ones listed by perrin in his enlightening article for perl.com. Since then I changed work place, but I continue to develop a slightly different version in my spare time. I think that these kind of projects is very helpful to learn and give many satisfactions. My current dream is to develop a CMS for Panini Group, possibly with help from bronto and larsen, maybe using Mason.

The thing that I will miss most is the talk from perrin at TPC7; I think that his comparison of "Object-Relational Mapping Tools for Perl" can give good directions when building CMSs. perrin, will you write another article for perl.com? :))

Ciao, Valerio

update: Thank you very much perrin! Now I must convince the other ones: TheDamian, MJD, merlyn, acme and BigAl :))
