If you are just starting out, I think it pays to generate some pages manually, just so you know what is involved. The easiest entry point into that, is to use use CGI qw(:standard), to just parse input, and here-docs ( print << EOHTML;) for manual html output. It teaches you about headers, and if you send out forms, it teaches basic logic. I know that is way simpler than what you are after.

If you don't want to write code, but just manage content, the big thing around here now is Drupal , which is (gag!) Php. But I did see Googling for a Perl counterpart, Melody.

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
