in thread The most powerful CMS developed in Perl (not spam, sounds that way)

Unpacking the archive, installing the db and modifying main.settings will set up a basic setup, but it's not designed for clicky clicky users. You are right on the style of code - it's not OO. Many have a problem with this, but when speed matters, functional is faster. That said, all code must come from trusted sources. I'm aware of the disadvantages. Regards, Andrew

    I'm not really a 'clicky-click' user -- I'm happiest at the command line. Your package doesn't even have instructions on how to install your system, let alone an install shell script.

    I like OO, but I'm not sure it's dramatically slower than straight functional programming, as you're implying.

      .. all code must come from trusted sources.

    Well, I trust CPAN just fine, and I'm happy to build on the excellent building blocks that it provides.

        Having installation instructions online, a good idea

        Not having installation instructions with software, a bad idea
