Simple Blogging Software in Perl, similar to blosxome or Jekyll

Blawd -- a Jekyll/Bloxsom like Blog Built around Git

Blawd is a blog aware git based content management system, similar to Bloxsom or Jekyll. It has managed to replace MovableType on my personal blog, but it is still very very rough. By default it will generate a tree of HTML documents, but it can be run as a server as well using Plack.
