I can't find much info about the TMojo Perl content generation (was: content management) system (including doing a Super Search here), but it looks nicely documented. Anybody tried using it?

    Yes, it its nicely documented, but it looks like just another HTML template library (almost like Mason, but with '<: :>' tags instead), not a content management system. When you said content management, I'm thinking Krang or Bricolage. This is nowhere close.

    The tag line on the page claims "Content Generation". That I might agree with.
      Krang and Bricolage are nice, but they have a huge learning curve and are more feature-rich than many people need
        My point is that TMojo is merely a template system, like HTML::Mason or HTML::Template, in fact, its module name (HTML::TMojo) places it into the html generation namespace.

        It is not a content management system, like Krang or Bricolage. There are no facilities for template editing-storage-retrieval, or multi-user collaboration workflows. Yes Krang or Bricolage are complex, but a content management system handles many more things than just content generation, therefore, the title of this node is imprecise.
