punch_card_don has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Morphological Monks,

Yes, a twisted title trying to avoid using theterm "CMS".

I have a teeny website with 6 static html pages on it. Imagine that it is my 75 year old aunt Mabel's personal website where she posts news and pictures for her nieces and nephews to see from around the world.

I want to enable her to edit those pages through a web browser with an interface that looks/works like MS-Word or Dreamweaver. Make a paragraph with a title, choose some fonts, paste in a picture, etc. Edit the page, hit Submit, and bingo the edited page is live on the site.

That's all I need. Not "remote group interoperability with Johnny G-Man security management and a robust application server thinga-ma-bobbee". Just, edit a web page.

Is there any such thing out there that will save me from rolling my own?

Thanks

    FCKeditor can be made to use pretty much any back-end language.

    There are quite a few other similar Javascript-based editors. The back-end need only know how to store/retrieve/list the stored articles.

    For those that downvoted this, it's absolutely clear that a plain HTML-based user interface cannot do what punch_card_don has asked for.

    He asks for the solution to:

    • looks/works like MS-Word or Dreamweaver
    • paste in a picture, etc.

    I hope you realise that this can't be done without extra client-side support.

      ...AND it comes with a Perl back-end.

      This looks good. Thanks.
