Following the precendent set by the plugin for HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot, I've released another plugin for another HTML::Template alternative, HTML::Template::Compiled.
My plugin should be on CPAN by now, but here's an alternate link if it's not: http://mark.stosberg.com/perl/CGI-Application-Plugin-HTCompiled-1.01.tar.gz The benchmark script included with HTML::Template::Compiled showed it to be about 5 times faster than plain HTML::Template. (And about 10 times faster than TT... ) Further, it adds several interesting new features to HTML::Template. - die_on_bad_params has been removed (yay!) - There's a dot notation like HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot provided - <tmpl_comment> lets you leave comments in the templates that don't rendered. - <tmpl_switch> cleans up if/else chains in the templates. - A shorter ASP style notation is available: <%IF blah%> <%= VARIABLE%> <%/IF%> There's some other cool things in there as well. Be warned however that the module is still young and lacks some polish. I have already noticed and sent patches for some minor bugs: - The "new_..." shortcuts were missing, like "new_file()", etc. - There were no checks in new() to make sure actually passed in a valid template source.
