Hi all!
I'm working on porting my TABOO system to 1.7, and while it also runs
unmodified since backwards compatibility is maintained, I wish to
update it to take advantage of the new code.
I have made use of SimpleTaglib before, and it has seen substantial
upgrades. It is very appealing that you now may explicitly name the
variables, and that you return the content rather than a Perl fragment
as before. So, I like the direction this has taken a lot.
However, I have some issues. For one thing I noticed that I could not
use $r and $cgi magically as before. I had to start the tag where I use
it with
my $r = Apache->request;
my $cgi = Apache::Request->instance($r);
are there any simpler ways to use this magic?
I also noted that I now have to explicit use Apache::Constants
':common'; something I didn't need before. That's no problem though.
My main issue now is that I want to conditionally include a complete
well-balanced XML fragment (not just a text node). I think it can be
done by exploiting the new XML::Smart facilities, but it seems a bit
more complex than before. Even if I would go down this road, I
currently do not depend on XML::Smart, I do depend on XML::LibXML (and
a whole lot of other modules). I know I can return an
XML::LibXML::Node, and I suppose also a DocumentFragment, but can I
easily get to the child tree of the tag? Actually, what I want is even
the child tree of a child element of the tag... Complex, huh?
Cheers,
Kjetil
