CMS
Slashcode
Metadot
WebGui
<p>Dear monks </br> I am trying to set up a simple CMS for my university department. We need a few simple things that no exisiting CMS supports, so I am drawn to Perl, because I know that I can do what I want. At the moment I use [cpan://HTML::Mason|HTML:Mason], but I want to give my colleagues direct write access, and Mason, while I love it dearly, is way too low-level for them.</p>
<p>I've two strong core candidates [http://www.metadot.com/|Metadot] and [http://plainblack.com|WebGui], and one outlier, Slashcode. WebGui looks neat, but the publcily available documentation is not good. Metadot has better documentation, but looks a little more complex. Slashcode has some obvious merits, but would be hard to customise for our needs.</p>
<p>Anyone got any experience with these two packages? Both claim to be widely used. Any unexpected gotcha's? Any other recommendations based on your personal experience of a Perl based CMS?</p>
<p>Ta,</p>
