I want to streamline some things, especially using a standard menu based on an XML file.
What I'm after is efficiency, so my question is which is the most efficient way to do what I want.
The SSI approach would have to parse all .html as well as all .pl : .html <html> stuff... <!--#include virtual="/menu.cgi" --> </html>
.tt/.cgi <html> stuff... [% TTfun %] <!--#include virtual="/menu.cgi" --> </html>
The CGI/TT approach would have to treat all HTML documents as templates: http://www.website.com/getFile.cgi?myDocument.tt myDocument.tt <html> stuff... [% TTfun %] [% PROCESS menu %] </html>
.tt/.cgi <html> stuff... [% TTfun %] [% PROCESS menu %] </html>
After reading some of the things that Randall has suggested I was thinking about making the "menu" static, but then I have to rebuild after every change, and also lose a bit of dynamism.
I'm running a mod_perl environment.
Is this just a case of; "six of one, one-half dozen of the other" or is forcing a Template->process call on hapless static HTML, just to put in a menu, a bit of overkill?
THANKS!!!
