Hi all -

Just curious because it seems to come up a lot - for what applications
have people run into a serious need for HTML generators ala CGI.pm?  (I'm
not talking about templating systems, there's obvious need and practical
use for those.)

It seems like people like to use the HTML generating features of CGI.pm. 
I've generated a lot of HTML, and I haven't run into any situations where
I would do something like this: 

>    print table( 
>        -align => "center",
>        tr(
>            td( "foo" ),
>            td( "bar" ),
>        ),
>    ) ;

instead of just doing this:

print <<EOF;
   <table align="center">
   <tr>
      <td>foo</td>
      <td>bar</td>
   </tr>
   </table>
EOF

Seems like the same amount of typing, it's easier (for me anyway) to read
and understand, and faster.  What am I missing?


Thanks,
Larry Leszczynski
