Argh. I can't remember where, but I ran across a Website package using HTML::Template that had this feature. The templates in the package have <TMPL_VALUE name="foo" value="bar"> tags and used a filter function to extract them from the templates and insert them into the template params. It was a very neat hack. --[Lance] -- Carolina Spirit Quest: http://www.carolinaspiritquest.org/ Celebrate The Circle: http://www.angelfire.com/nc/celebratethecircle/ My LiveJournal: http://www.livejournal.com/users/labrown/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
