My blogging software blows
« on: 4 March 2006, 05:50 »
I'm using a perl based blogging system right now, and it's buggy as hell. I can't even add content it's so bad. Does anyone here know, off-hand, of a half-way decent blogging system that uses perl?

I host it on my home BSD box, and want it to use perl because don't want to have to install a bunch of damn addons for apache. The box is a PPro 200, so installing software takes ages (compiling).

Can't you get a binary package for FreeBSD, of like PHP, for example?

Yes, but if that version has a vulnerability, I will have to update it by re-compiling, and as I mentioned, the box is a Pentium Pro 200. Compiling stuff takes forever on it.  IME, runing a site that uses php typically requires freqnent updates, as vulnerabilities in PHP (and php software) are found frequently.

Ooops! I just remembered that I unplugged my router last night and forgot to plug it back in. :p It's normally up all the time.
