Hello,
I'm looking for recommendations for a website creation and management tool (written in Perl of course).
Here are some thoughts on what I'd like it to be: Open Source Written in Perl (or mostly Perl) Well documented Browser based content management GUI Template and CSS driven design management Lightweight - (Rather than run one site with millions of hits, I need to be able to run many sites with light to moderate traffic)
Take a look at Bricolage (www.bricolage.cc). It's written in perl using Mason, open source, tons of docs, cross-browser compatible, has support for Mason, TT, and HTML::Template(IIRC), the interface is slowly being converted to CSS layout. It has a very active mailing list. David Wheeler ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is the primary developer and maintainer, and provides commercial support through Kineticode (www.kineticode.com).
The only failing point is that it's not light-weight. But it's also not an application server. Rather it publishes pages to the production server, but does not serve the pages itself. So your Bricolage templates output something: that something could be (x)html, mason, SSI, php, etc.
You might also want to take a look at Krang (krang.sf.net). It has many similar features to Bricolage, but is written using CGI::Application & HTML::Template.
