in reply to Content management system recommendations?

I use a simple Perl module written by our perl team. And it's based on templates. i.e. 
1.template:
===============
<html>
<body>
<p>Title</p>
<content>
The main page of my site is here.
</content>
</body>
===============

You can view your htmls even if you just editting them locally on your computer using your facourite tool for that. It won't look damaged etc. I your script you call it like: 
$a=open_template("1.template");
$a->change("content", "2.html");

[download]
And text "The main page of my site is here." from 1.template will be changed to content of 2.html. Or you can use dynamically created variables instead of files. If someone is interested, I'll post it. Thanks for listening to me. Maybe it's not about systems you can use for html templates but it's a tiny system that helps to run big sites fast.

    Unfortunately, this kind of low-level mucking about is what I'm trying to get away from. I hadn't really considered rolling my own system, as you and thraxil suggest; while it's definitely more satisfying to roll your own tool than to use someone else's, it takes a lot of time, and I'd rather put my hacking time into other things.

    There are numerous content management systems that various people have written, but I seem to have the Goldilocks problem: there always seems to be something that makes me unwilling or unable to use them - some are too big, some are too small, some require special server configs etc.

    So go ahead (if you like) and post - the worst that could happen is I could learn something !!!! :^)
