Wow, I haven't been on the forum in a long time . . .
Just wanted to ask about something. MovableType is one of the most popular blog systems around the Net. People have set it up successfully on Windows servers (including myself) - it's Perl.
The distribution kindly includes a script to check if your server can handle MT. I just ran it and a few Perl modules were missing. I would think these would not be hard to install. Here's the list:
HTML::Template (version >=2) (Required for MT to work at all)
Image::Size
Image::Magick
Crypt::DSA
XML::Atom
Some of these, such as HTML::Template and Image::Size, appear to be self-installable (http://www.movabletype.org/docs/mtinstall.html#required/optional%20module%20installation%20steps). But this isn't true of all of them. All are freely available at CPAN (www.cpan.org), however.
What are the chances DASP would add these few modules to their servers? :) Doing so would allow DASP users to setup MovableType and blog away! I know there are ASP blogs, but personally I've never seen one that matched MT imho.
So anyway, just a simple request. Please consider it, having MT would be great!
