Catalyst
Today, I took the time to rebuild the whole website. I threw out everything and now the website is just plain POD. I also changed the CSS a little, so in supported browsers, I now have rounded borders with a 1 pixel grey border. The application backing this site is written in Perl and uses the Catalyst framework. Other users of this host can easily include their own POD based website by adding a .htaccess file with the following content:
SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler Homepage
and adding all the content below the directory this .htaccess file is in. The menu is generated from a file called menu.pm in the content root. I now manage this site using git, so I don't need to edit files on the server, directly, anymore. Consequently, I might henceforth update and add articles on a more regular basis.
PODSite
I reworked most of the website's internal structure and optimised the scripts. The site should be much more responsive now. New features include verbatim HTML forwarding and wikitext converters in addition to the already existing POD converter.
