Personally, I use a mix of it, pending on what i shall do and who i am writing it for. Sometimes I find it easier to use the HTML tags rather than the shortcuts, especially when i make complicated tables. And there's always the option of a external HTML file and use regexps to insert variables:
open(HTML, "<a_file.html") or die "cant open HTML file: $!\n";
while($row = <HTML>) {
$row =~ s/---(.*?)---/eval $1/eg;
print $row;
}
close HTML;
Which will look for ---$variablename--- in the HTML code and replace it with the variable (as if you didnt know ; ))
I also use HTML comment flags to insert more complicated structures. I've written a rather simple Web-based discussion forum using this technique, which allows the administrator of the site to change the design without knowing any Perl at all. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] [d/l] |
