mojotoad has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
So what is everyone's favorite (free) Perl solution, whether it be an enterprise-level CMS, mid-range BLOG, simple journal maintenance suite, or template-level publishing tool? I'm not too concerned about mod_perl usage vs CGI, but I'd like to avoid any JavaScript and overreliance on cookies.
Up with the big boys, there is of course Slashcode, Movable Type, and Bricolage. Of these, Moveable Type seems nice, but apparently is a bit happy with JavaScript and cookies. Slash, of course, is well known, but for me is a bit of overkill. I'm not too familiar with Bricolage other than knowing it's built around Mason.
On a more modest level, there's YaWPS (Yet another Web Publishing System) which seems okay though I haven't played with it to see how flexible its configuration is.
On a really basic level, I find Apache::BLOG, which basically prints one journal entry per page. Way too limited.
And of course there is rolling my own using HTML::Template or some equivalent, which is probably what I'll ultimately do since I never seem to be quite satisfied with canned solutions.
Some of the big boys, BTW, seem to be covered in the new Essential Blogging from O'Reilly; I'm not sure on what level it approaches the topic.
Thoughts, additions, reviews?
Thanks for your time,
Matt
