The CMS has undergone a large rewrite. Modules have been converted to OO, code has been moved to modules, etc. It is easier to read, easier to work with, and all around a lot better on the back end. This is my new project. The website will primarily be using Perl CGI scripts which query a MySQL database for the page content (in essence, a small CMS). I will have links to programming projects I am working on, a page desribing the technology used on this page, and links to other stuff such as friend's pages or other sites I find interesting or entertaining.

I have begun work on cleaning up the Perl CMS code and adding some new features. The clean-up has a long way to go... it's scary. The features are already in the works, such as the new dynamic front page and a few features for managing that (this is not documented or in the downloadable version of the CMS yet). I have also ported all of the completed code over to C#/ASP.Net as part of my project to learn C# and ASP.Net.

More new features have been added to the CMS.

• Log in from anywhere
• Beginnings of user and group rights system
• Admin menu accessible from anywhere with correct user or group rights
• Templated menu and admin menu

Next up is a re-working of the admin interface to clearly label some of the functions that don't list what they actually do if they change them, template the admin interface, and add in admin options for the new rights features.

After that I believe I will release the new CMS code on this site on the off chance that you happen along here and want to play with it.
