Ditto. I don't use it myself because of the extra complexity Jesse mentioned of a) learning the syntax, and b) need for XML intermediaries. FYI - from the Jakarta Velocity project, Geir Magnusson created a util so that if you DO have XML data (for example, the entire jakarta.apache.org website), it can be converted using the template engine (with a simpler syntax) rather than directly using XSL-T. One of the chaps that uses XSL-T said, "Woo hoo! I never have to look at xslt ever again in my life! The pain and suffering in the world has been reduced an order of magnitude :-) Geir you rock!" On the flip side, I know another developer chap who uses XSL-T and is quite likes it, but then he's a java engineer type - not an HTML/template/gui person. My 2cents - Although I wouldn't choose it personally - if folks want/need to use XSL-T, they should be able to do so in the CGI::Application framework. The flexibility to use various view components with CGI::App will I'm certain, garner it more popularity. :-) Cheers, Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
