I pull myself once again from the murky depths of my daily affairs to bother everybody with an idle question: what tools do you use when building a static Web site? I'm rather fond of WebMake, although I have occasionally felt the urge to use ZenWeb . Heck, I've recently experimented with using Mason as part of my build chain. So what about you?
Okay, you in the back. Your hand isn't raised, but I can see the question you're about to ask. "Why not just dynamically generate all the common elements of your site on the fly?" Because I don't want to, okay? My home site has very little interactivity, and it seems like a waste of CPU to build a site menu on the fly every time somebody loads one of your pages. I like to save the dynamic approach for pages with actual dynamic content - image generation, stuff like that.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
