Templer

Perl static-site generator that builds HTML pages from page files, layouts and HTML::Template variables.

Templer is a static site generator written in Perl. It expands variables in its pages and layouts with the HTML::Template module, and pages can be written in HTML, or in Textile or Markdown through plugins. A site is rebuilt by running the templer script in the site directory, and the output is HTML pages written to an output directory.

The software is installed from CPAN as App::Templer, built from a git clone, or installed from Debian packages in the author’s own repository.

Worth knowing

The repository is archived on GitHub, and the project’s own site names it as the place where development occurs, so the record is marked discontinued.
