Thanks, I appreciate that. I'm certainly not above changing my mind if enough people see a need for a particular feature. I'm definitely thinking about doing something about variable TMPL_INCLUDEs, for example. > And these enhancements show that H::T can undergo more enhancements > without 'breaking'... some of the features added to this version, > are based on ideas from the people on this list -> they were added > without a major re-architecture, more like a code evolution. When I think about the dangers of feature creep I think about global_vars. It's a great feature which I've come to think of as the way HTML::Template should have worked from the beginning. It's also a terrible hack which still doesn't work quite right and clutters the code in a number of places. > - I absolutely needed some bug fixes which Sam hasn't fixed Can you refresh my memory about these? > (note that most of these changes / enhancements cant be made by > subclassing H::T...) Which ones would you consider impossible? I'm sure I could implement TMPL_xxx extensions and TMPL_ELSIF in a sub-class. -sam ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
