"PageMod" is written in Perl. PageMod is a "web page text and image modification system". It allows a web owner to modify sections of text and also upload images for any number of web pages, all done via a simple web interface. It "meshes" data with html templates. The templates can contain any valid html or Javascript content. It can be setup in 'simple' mode where one web owner is able to conveniently modify his or her own pages, or it can be used in 'multi-user' mode where a web hosting owner can provide the same feature to any number of web accounts.

Modification of the structure of the web pages is easily done via a web interface. The data structure and data itself are stored in a Perl "hash of hashes" (a simple text file) -- thus no database is necessary.

Features include:

• easy installation via two .tar.gz (zip) files (shell access required)
• installation can also be done via ftp (file permissions have to be modified)
• structure modification done via the web
• web button to backup the data file
• web button to regenerate all pages, based on new templates changes
• web button to view an extensive help document online
• admin menu to create and delete "users" (new user web directory trees with separate logins)
• admin or user menu to change a user's templates to a different set of templates (shared templates require the same data structure, of course)
• web button to view other user urls

Program documentation is available in two documents - a 'readme first' file for installation, and a larger help document formatted as html - available from the program's Top Menu.

[ Note to Programmers: If you're a programmer, and are concerned about issues such as 'use strict', 'my' and other programming constructs, you may be interested in a note about programming methods. ]
