Hello,

In case any of you are interested, I thought I would let you know 
that my Perl module HTML::FormTemplate has received a major upgrade 
and now version 2.0 is available for use.

You can get it at 
"http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=HTML-FormTemplate-2.0" or 
"http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/D/DU/DUNCAND/" or 
"http://darrenduncan.net/perl/".

At least half of the module has been rewritten and so was the 
documentation.  Many improvements were made and some features were 
added.  The module is now easier to use and it is easier to 
understand and update the code.

A few features were removed, but they were peripheral and all of the 
remaining functionality is backwards-compatible with release 1.0x.

Feel free to try out this module where it could be useful and give me 
feedback.  I am a lot more receptive to change requests now since I 
consider the module more or less "finished".  If you find any bugs 
then they should be easier to fix than before.

BTW: Given the semi-complex nature of this module, I am considering 
starting a SourceForge project to manage its development further. 
The module has a lot of potential and I don't have time to realize it 
all.  If anyone would be interested in helping to develop it then 
please tell me.

If you use the module with "-w" then you may see a number of 
"uninitialized variable" warnings.  These are nothing to worry about 
as I anticipate them and expect them to resolve to an empty string or 
false where used.  And if I have to change my code to make those 
warnings go away then it will get very convoluted.  (You wouldn't 
know how to disable specific -- not all -- warnings, would you?)

Thank you,

// Darren Duncan

P.S.  If announcements are not suitable for this list then please 
tell me so I don't do it again.
