in reply to BLOGGING and/or WIKI modules for Dancer2

If you want an out-of-the-box solution, checkout WebGUI, a free, comprehensive CMS written in Perl. It offers all the features you want and offers a plugin system that would allow you to extend it as desired - in Perl.

Alternatively if you want to reinvent the wheel, the Dancer2 Tutorial takes you through the basic steps to build a (very) rudimentary working blog engine.

Hope this helps!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    The WebGUI app looks nice. I downloaded it for my linux mint system and will tinker with it. But it will not be what I use for this project.

    I played with the very basic blog deal in the tutorial, but the one I downloaded several years ago using Dancer (v1) was everything I'd want. Actually, it has been long enough that I don't remember if it was actually a Dancer module, or if it was just something I was able to stuff into the environment. I remember I had an option that used the output from a bash script and one that called another perl script, so I might have simply called a standalone perl-based blog.
