Arts is a collection of perl scripts that allow you to input text into a quick and dirty knowledge base. It's designed to save information that is generated for email (either by design or choice) that is determined to be valuable away for safekeeping and future use. It turns out is an excellent documentation tool for a small company or association.
There is more information in the Arts POD.
Arts requires perl and the perl MailTools collection. It needs a mail server that can send to a pipe via an alias and the documents that get created are set up to be served over the web.
You can get the MailTools package from CPAN.See http://cpan.perl.com/.
