AFAIK, nvu is about your only option. http://nvu.com
It's based around Mozilla Composer code.

nvu *does* use CSS, but it also doesn't seem to understand <div> tags
very well and utilizes tables for basic layout (which, imho, is very
icky, even if "everybody else does it").

I guess it supports this.

There's definitely no Perl support in nvu. You'll have a hard time
finding a WYSIWYG editor that supports scripting like that for dynamic
content period. FrontPage supports FrontPage extensions (I don't think
it supports ASP) and I *think* DreamWeaver has some rudimentary PHP
support. IMHO, dynamic content is best done in a text editor of some
sort, not a WYSIWYG editor.
I like Eclipse for my PHP/MySQL/HTML jobs.

Like what?
