Re^2: Suggestions on Perl CMS

TWiki has had a few security problems recently. Whilst that might mean it's all fluffy and armoured nowadays it's a little off-putting.

Personally when I was looking for a slash-like codebase, in perl, for running my site I started using Yawns.

I'm not sure how much that will help the OP. A list of requirements other than "written in Perl" would be useful.

Sadly I can't comment on Mason specifically because I've not used it. But there are a few comparison sites online for CMS systems. CMS Matrix being the obvious one.

Thanks! I should be a bit more specific - This is a site for a small university school. We need to provide material for students, for ourselves, and for other researchers. it isn't reallly a Wiki problem. What we need, that pretty much every CMS on earth supports, is the simple stuff:- site updates, access control, many users can edit the site, different types of page, for example, courses, research projects, staff members, and so on. Our specific need that no CMS of my acquaintance supports, is the ability to enter publications data directly from databases like PubMed. I can do this in Perl, hence my interest in a Perl based CMS. If didn't need this I'd probably go for Joomla, the CMS formerly known as Mambo. Hope this helps. -- Anthony Staines	[reply]
