Well, what you're doing is accepting arbitrary input from users and then serving it out. Just because the users are "trusted" doesn't let you out of validating and scrubbing the input. Since you have an established framework to follow, why not just write a CGI based form to accept their input. You can use CGI.pm to do the dirty work for you. Then do what you want with the data. You can write it into a static page, or parse it into an XML structure that can be dynamically displayed/searched. I would suggest an intermediate structure so that editting a node would be easier.
If you want to avoid a .htaccess password mess, run a local server that does the data wrangling and then auto updates the live server.

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).
