KENTUCKY LAKE TIMES is running this Article on Web-App!!! KentuckyLakeTimes.com Web-APP Network Team releases latest open source Perl CMS On June 21st the WebAPP Network (http://web-app.net) released the latest version of their content management system written in Perl and licensed under the GNU General Public License.
WebAPP is the most fully-featured, versatile, free and open-source, flat-file Perl portal script available today! An acronym for "Web Automated Perl Portal", WebAPP is easily installed on virtually any UNIX-based server. WebAPP requires no SQL backend, no PHP, only a hosting environment offering support for Perl.
Even beginning Webmasters should be able to install the WebAPP distribution package in a matter of minutes, go in and personalize their portal, populate it with content, and then easily maintain and administer the site. Extensive member management tools allow you to handle hundreds or even thousands of registered members, manage an email list and send newsletters, and send private messages to individuals, groups, or the entire community.
WebAPP's robust, interactive features include categorized Topics archive (a.k.a. "articles"), a fully configurable message board Forum, Private Messaging, Who's Online, Memberlist, Download and Link sections, Stats and complete browser-based Site Administration. Standard website pages such as About, Contact and Help pages are fully integrated and easily customized, and you can compose custom Welcome messages for both guests and registered members. Additional editable areas called Blocks can be created as needed (or mothballed) as needed.
To alter the look of a site, dozens of additional Themes are available for download (visit ThemeAPP), are easily installed and modified, and multiple themes can be made available for user-choice. WebAPP is also available in several languages (visit MLAPP).
WebAPP is an ongoing CGI/Perl development project, bringing together the scripting skills of a talented and dedicated core team of programmers, whose devotion to the principles of open-source software (and the evolution of WebAPP in particular) is evident in the many refinements and enhancements of the software. Perhaps WebAPP's most distinquishing feature is it's overall usefulness in a wide variety of applications. It lends itself well to simple online communities for any number of members, family portals, sites for professional people, businesses and offices, ecommerce sites -- any application where easy, browser-based administration and extensive user interactivity is desired.
This web site was made with WebAPP v0.9.9.3.3 , a web portal system written in Perl
