Any thoughts?

Have a look at this document that compares most of the template engines out 
there. http://perl.apache.org/features/tmpl-cmp.html

I think you'll have an easy time converting your homegrown templates over 
to Template Toolkit, and, since it's fast, it should meet your needs.

here's your example using tt's syntax.

pMy name is: [% name %]/p
[% IF age %]
   pMy age is: [% age %]/p
[% END %]

Good luck,
Kenny

Re: Mod_perl CGI.pm Cgi-lib

John,
I suggest adding 'use strict' at the top of your script. That will help you 
track down 'variables that won't stay shared'. See the guide for 
more.  http://perl.apache.org/guide/

hope this helps,

Hello,

Some more info on the problem i described before:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Fcntl ':flock'; # import LOCK_* constants
use CGI::Apache qw(:standard);
use CGI qw(:cgi-lib);
require dbcfg.pl;
use diagnostics;
ReadParse(*input);
if ($input{'new'} eq on) {add_account;}
  if ($input{'action'} eq something) {something;}
  if ($input{'action'} eq something2) {something2;}
  if ($input{'action'} eq something3) {something3;}
 snip alot of somethings
else {show_menu;}

sub show_menu {
somecode here }

sub something {
some code here }

sub something2 {
somecode here }

Now the first routing it hits is a login which grabs the userid and 
password as below:
$user = ;
$pass = ;
$user = $input{'userid'};
$pass = $input{'password'};

then it validates the user and jumps to the show menu routine.

 From here alot of options are available if i am at the main menu and hit 
 refresh all things are correct. But if i say click on the something2 
 option and goto the something2 routine all variables $user and $pass are 
 correct. If i hit refresh it is still correct. Now if i hit the 
 backbutton in my browser to go back to the main menu the $user and $pass 
 vairable now gets doubled? So if your login WAS $user=$joe your 
 information will now be $user=joejoe and NOW if you hit refresh it keeps 
 adding $user=joejoejoejoe etc..same for the $pass and every other 
 variable used.

I hope this sheds some light on this problem as i am clueless at this 
point. The same code runs without these errors on a regular apache setup 
without mod perl it only occurs on a modperl server.

Any inofmration is greatly greatly apreciated!

Thanks,
John Buwa

I was able to build mod_perl using these instructions.

If that doesn't work, or you would like more help, I'd suggesting 
subscribing to this list.

   o unfortunately, we can't get into the biz of selling any.  the logistics
of that is just too much.

Maybe using a service like Cafe Press to sell the shirts would 
work?  http://www.cafepress.com/  I know I'd be interested in purchasing a 
shirt.
