You should play with Movable Type. It's the same sort of thing, but all
written in Perl, and all written for you already. You do everything
over the web, and when you're ready, hit the "publish" button and it
spits out the webpages. All the templates are just plain HTML with
special tags, so they're easy to edit and customize.
It might be just the thing for whoever it was that asked the original
question, as well.
