Our support team asked me to setup a Knowledge Base for internal use.

The Knowledge Base should have the following features:

Lightweight

Web based

Searchable

Ability to add attachments (screenshots, patches, etc) to the entries

Preferably running on a database backend

low cost

Preferably written in perl (that's my point :) )

I've searched on freshmeat, sourceforge and google and found several solutions.

Still I didn't found something that suits our needs.

What I found so far was either:

too complicated (Complete helpdesk solution)

in a too early development status

simply not looking serious. (Good developers aren't always good designers :) )

Maybe I didn't look well or maybe can what I want be accomplished with a simple forum ?

I can start writing something myself, but I'm sure there must be something already available Open Source.

Any comments / tips are highly appreciated !

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
