I find HTML::Template a good solution for the beginner who knows HTML. The Template Toolkit is awesome in its power but takes longer to learn for basic jobs like what you describe. If and when you learn the Template Toolkit for some other reason then you're likely to use it for everything including tasks like this one. The CGI.pm module can generate HTML via functions or methods with the same names as the elements. It was very popular at one time although templating makes a lot more sense. -- Peter Scott http://www.perlmedic.com/ http://www.perldebugged.com/ http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0137001274 http://www.oreillyschool.com/courses/perl3/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
