I don't think you're going to find a perl-based editor, but I could be wrong. You didn't say whether you wanted this editor to be a desktop application or a web app? You also didn't specify whether it's windows/*nix or if that doesn't matter. I've heard good things about Kate but I haven't used it myself. I believe it has built in network access.	[reply]

I mean the web application(online) script, for Unix platform, which does not need some very 'exotic' modules to work. The task is produce nice formatted html pages in output. Script need produce nice formatted html page from text input, generate clean html code(insert correct tags, optimize formatting). It need be enable set formatting options. As to content management system -this a little another thing.	[reply]

~~I'm assuming you do mean a browser-based HTML editor, right?~~ http://www.koivi.com/WYSIWYG-Editor/ is kinda nice, though the licencing is unclear (not mentioned anyware on the site) The serverside demo code is in PHP, but it takes only a couple of lines of code to run the editor from a perl backend. update after re-read: I think you want Text::Wikiformat or maybe Pod::HTML.

SSH -> Vim -- b10m All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.	[reply]

I mean simple end-user tool - ready. The VIM requires compiling, etc	[reply]

It sounds like you are looking for a content management system. A few of my coworkers setup Krang to manage complex websites, and integrated htmlarea to provide a wysiwig editor. Krang is written in object oriented perl and runs on a mod_perl enabled Apache webserver. It's not hard to setup, and the support on the mailing list is great.	[reply]

Ah yes, that's pretty hard. Luckilly Perl doesn't require compiling! I should've just said: SSH -> `$EDITOR` -- b10m All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.	[reply] [d/l]

Vim has binaries for plenty of platforms. See the download page.	[reply]
