This script uses HTML embeded Perl code to serve threaded discussions. Perl embedding is done by a small CGI Script. This discussion board is very lightweight and has a very clean output. It intentionally has none of the fancy features of some of the big bulletin boards. It concentrates on serving information. Threads can be generated on the fly or you can have them saved as HTML files for best performance so that search engines can index them. You can run multiple forums with one script or install multiple scripts using the same embeded perl engine. HSPNotes is totally free and the embedded perl engine can be reused for anyother HTML embeded perl scripts.

HyperNews is a cross between the hypermedia of the WWW and Usenet News. Readers can browse through the messages written by other people and reply to those messages. A forum (also called a base article) holds a tree of these messages, displayed as an indented outline that shows how the messages are related (i.e. all replies to a message are listed under it and indented). Users can become members of HyperNews or subscribe to a forum in order to get email whenever a message is posted, so they don't have to check if anything new has been added. A recipient can then send a reply email back to HyperNews, rather than finding a browser to write a reply, and HyperNews then places the message in the appropriate forum.
