For a couple of years, Lollop started as a simple CGI script that stored text data into a file-based XBase 'data base' and with a different name. Even though its code design changed completely, it's still easy to handle for the system administrator and the template designer. It has been set up with the needs of the web-aware engineer in mind and gives you the features you expect from a CMS without the complexity of the bigger systems.
All you need is a working system with an Apache web server (1.3), mod_perl 1.2x, Mason (a Perl framework for web site development and delivery) and MySQL 3.x (or higher). You'll find detailed install instructions here soon.
