It also works at a much higher level. There ar various applications built on top of these template frameworks. For example, Request Tracker (RT), a bug & issue tracking system, and Bricolage, a general purpose publishing system, are both written using Mason, while Slashcode, the engine that runs sites like slashdot.org, is written using Template Toolkit. On the PHP side, you have applications like SquirrelMail and Geeklog doing similar things. Interchange, which doesn't appear to use any of the standard template modules, and so presumably has custom code for this, is more similar to these kinds of high level applications, rather than development toolkits like the others listed above, or like PHP for that matter, which are often used to write the high level applications. -- Chris Devers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
