Krang

Krang is an Open Source web-publisher / content-management system designed for large-scale magazine-style Web sites. It is a 100% Perl application using Apache/mod_perl and MySQL, as well as numerous CPAN modules. It provides a powerful and easy to use story and media editing environment for magazine editors, as well as a complete template development environment for web designers. On the back-end, Perl programmers can customize Krang to control the data entered in the story editor, and add code to drive the templates to build output.
