Everything Engine

The Everything Engine is an open source content management system written in Perl. It s designed for sites which allow submissions by any web user, but can be configured to serve as a content management system for a small number of trusted administrators. It has a very database-centric design; each page in the Everything Engine is a node, and each node has a nodetype which is also a node; much of the code is stored in the database. This simple design has proved to be extremely flexible.

Many sites use the Everything Engine; perhaps the most prominent are Everything2, Perl Monks and Animefu.
