I'd already rejected WebGUI because it needs additional modules on the host server, mod_rewrite to get user-friendly URLs and creates the pages dynamically.

It would be a good system for a site where the content is changed on a regular basis, but most of my pages will be static.

I've been right through Hotscripts' Perl Content Management, News Publishing and Portal scripts sections and haven't found anything suitable for my needs. (That isn't to say there aren't decent programs available.)

I've also checked every other scripts directory I could find, though I didn't find many that weren't already listed at Hotscripts.

Searching has taken weeks, and I did briefly consider adapting an existing script, but decided I may as well start from scratch.
