About this Project

SGEngine - is a multipurpose and flexible in configuration Content Management System (CMS), which is written in programming language Perl.

Its main advantages are:
  • Support of individual templates, those are responsible for design of website. Templates differ not only in color but also in structure and maintenance! You can give your visitors the chose to adjust the view of website.
  • Modularity. Modules are small scripts, which can be written by anyone, who knows Perl. Modules provide dynamics of CMS.
  • All modules included in this package have own HTML templates. This feature delivers from direct interference in module code when only applying of design changes are needed. This is especially relevant to those people who do not know Perl.
  • Support of language packages.
  • SGEngine has administrative interface with advanced capabilities to website management.
  • As from version 2.0 of this bundle, script "Setup wizard" was included in it, which can help you to install CMS on your server within a few steps! You do not need any more to delve into configurations files!

So, if you are not Perl programmer also even do not know HTML, you can quite install SGEngine without someone's help and take advantage of one of prepared templates. If you are HTML guru or even be good on it, you are on forces to create own design and to use prepared modules. Well and if you besides work with programming language Perl, you can create own modules to your new site!
