PFT
Static website generator written in Perl, installed as command line tools for managing and compiling a blog.
dacav.roundhousecode.com/tags/pft.htmlrepository
PFT is a static website generator written in Perl, distributed as the App-PFT command line tools. Content lives in a content directory of the site project, and pft make compiles it with Template::Alloy templates into a build directory. The README describes the result as something a plain HTTP server can serve, with no server-side generation. pft pub can publish the build over rsync and ssh.
The tools are installed with perl Makefile.PL or with cpanminus, and they use the separate PFT library for access to the file system.
Worth knowing
The homepage is a page on the maintainer’s personal site, which describes PFT as one of the maintainer’s personal projects and as the generator used for that site.
