Hello,
I'm looking at various platforms for developing web apps, primarily a
slashdot/K5 style community site, with associated services. I've a
perverse desire to hand-roll all this in perl, but given time
constraints, and a niggling concern for people who may have to maintain
it after me (you can tell I'm not a _real_ programmer), something
off-the shelf may be the best option.
I've been looking at Zope. It has an admin interface that looks simple
enough for even an MCSE to manage, supports a whole bundle of
databases (not just MySQL, like Slash and Scoop) and although it's
written in python the latest version supports scripting in perl. I was
wondering if anybody had any experience, or knowledge of any problems I
should be aware of before committing myself.
Thanks,
Matthew.
