No, and I wouldn't recommend it. HTML::Template contains thousands of lines of Perl code that would go to waste if used as a "only" caching system. For mod_perl, all you need to do is load the files into memory on startup in a global hash. Then the memory will be accessible from, and shared between, all Apache children. If you need something more complicated, there are other ways to do it: DB_File, Cache::Cache (slowish), Cache::Mmap (weird, make sure you read the docs carefully), File::Cache, etc. -sam ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Geek Gift Procrastinating?
