Sound interesting, do you mean that it would try to determine what kind of data is in the file? Sounds like a project that cout grow very large very quickly! Sounds like fun! :-) One suggestion if you decide to begin: Split it up into several modules, like one master interface, one wrapper for Template::Plugin, and then decide on a api for plugins for all types of datasources. I can think of a few already, using wrappers for existing perl modules; HTML::Parser, HTML::TableExtract, XML::Simple, DBI, XML::*, Spreadsheet::ParseExcel and so on. If you get a good start, and a good api, I think other will start submitting plugins quickly! Good luck! -- /*************************************/ /* Kenneth Ekdahl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) */ /*************************************/ _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ourshack.com/mailman/listinfo/templates
