hello! yes, i have *yet another* templating mechanism for mod_perl, and i'd like to add it to CPAN if there are no major objections. the rational: Like other templating mechanisms, it allows you to embed blocks of Perl code into text documents, such as HTML files, and have this code executed upon HTTP request. However, it is meant to be a slim and basic alternative to existing packages (Apache::Embperl, Apache::ASP, ...), without any added syntax/tags/etc, and with only the bare necessities of functionality. This is a single, small module with no dependencies other than mod_perl. It is intended for someone with basic templating needs, or for someone who wants a bare-bones building-block to subclass and to add any other methods to. i'd like to use the name Apache::SimpleTemplate. if anyone wants to see the current pod: http://peter.nyc.ny.us/simpletemplate/pod.html all thoughts are welcome. thanks! -- peter forty [EMAIL PROTECTED]
