You're welcome to look at (and contribute to :) the PerlKB project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/perlkb/ It's still in the fairly early stages right now - most work is on the data store/management than on a web interface. If you are interested, you might also want to look at the template toolkit documentation list - some of the discussion there may affect the PerlKB implementation. My current work on the PerlKB involves categorization of documents and presenting that to the user - should have more on that after next week (deadline for Usenix tech. conference submissions :). Neither of these are ready for production at this point. If you need something *now*, then I'd look elsewhere (not necessarily for non-mod_perl solutions, just not this one). -- James Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, 979-862-3725 Texas A&M CIS Operating Systems Group, Unix
