• AutoWeb is a "template" based web page creator.
• AutoWeb puts the created web page to user's home directory, under the public_html (or equivalent) directory. No FTP or Telnet required! The user, who we assume is novice with computers, does not have to thrive to put the generated file to his/her home.
• AutoWeb handles the directory access rights on the server. Users are not supposed to issue cryptic "chmod" commands to grant read access to the world.
• AutoWeb can handle personal web pages in multiple-domain environments. In universities, for example, there are many domains, served by different home/http servers. AutoWeb can handle users' index.html files on different home directories/servers (provided that all home servers are UNIX hosts).
• AutoWeb permits the user to upload a picture file; which usually is a passport size photograph.
• AutoWeb can be used to edit existing index.html files.
• AutoWeb is trivially easy to use and provides a comprehensive and handy "HTML tips" page for those who want to use tags in his/her page (not necessary though).
• It is fairly easy to add new templates or modify the existing ones.
• The system is fully written in PERL and therefore fully reconfigurable by experienced PERL programmers.
