Shim is a Perl/PSGI blog platform.

You'll need a few Perl modules:

• HTML::Mason
• URL::Encode
• Plack
• DateTime
• Text::Markdown

To start blogging, clone the repository, change to the project root, and run plackup. Navigate to localhost:5000 in your browser and you should see the front page. Tack /admin onto that, and you'll be prompted for a login, and if successful, you will be brought to the area to add, edit, and delete posts.

The default username and password are on line 25 of app.psgi; modify them! The application uses Basic HTTP authentication to access the admin area. If public facing, this application should sit behind a reverse proxy with HTTPS.

You can write your posts in Markdown! Not the extended Git version, though.
