The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: HTML::Lister
DSLIP: RdpOa
description: Multidimensional Struct to HTML Nested List
userid: DODGER (Se�n Cannon)
chapterid: 15 (World_Wide_Web_HTML_HTTP_CGI)
communities:
similar:
CGI DataDumper
rationale:
CGI.pm's ul, ol, and dl functions are nice, but they only go skin
deep. HTML::Lister dereferences internally and recursively calls
itself to create nested HTML list entities from multidimensional
constructs. It can be used to generate HTML from a complex
structure, or even simply for debugging purposes, by dumping the
contents of a CGI or session object straight to the browser.
DataDumper performs a similar function, but it does not format the
results as HTML for a web browser. Using it inside a web page for
active browser-based debugging necessitates a PRE tag, and, besides,
it can't aesthetically be used for non-debugging purposes, whether
aesthetics stop most CGI programmers or not.
I chose the namespace HTML::Lister because the module generates
HTML from perl data structures and the HTML it creates is composed
of the three main HTML list entities, UL, OL, and DL. Basically, it
makes HTML lists.
I believe my module should be listed in the module list because
nothing else does what it does by itself.
