I'm playing with old tech on my tilde - specifically, Blosxom, a
blogging tool written in PERL I played with back in the early 2000s.
It's nice, simple, can create static pages or dynamically serve a blog,
and had a wide variety of plugins.

One limitation is that it doesn't have pagination - you can't flip
through pages of posts, only see one page's worth.

There's a whole registry of plugins, including the pagination I want,
but they were all written in 2003. There are deprecated statements in
the code that throw up errors. My PERL was spotty at best back in the
day - does anyone have experience with LLMs updating PERL code, or any
other tools that can automatically update PERL code?

Blosxom with some of the plugins enabled would be a wonderful smol blogging
platform.

I have another app, a photo gallery app. It's written in PHP, that also
hasn't been updated in as many years and is throwing up errors. I'm
interested in updating it as well.
