New, home-grown blogging software!

I started out looking for a decent Perl blogging platform. While there are several very complete and interesting contenders, I ultimately rolled my own. I mean, can you really be a professional Perl Programmer without having reinvented a bloggin platform?

The main objectives for this software was a file system-based blogging platform that utilized Markdown to generate pretty HTML pages. There were some customizations done to the Markdown syntax to allow for application meta-data, tagging, and things like this "read more" break that you're about to experience ...

I also saw this as an opportunity to learn Mojolicious, which I've been meaning to play with for sometime now.

Code Sample:

    # Display this Code
    my $variable = 'testing';
    if( length $variable > 0 ) {
        print "successful!\n";
    }

This concludes our code sample.
