( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I don't understand the "heredocs" (some module/command I don't know or an idiom I'm unaware of as I'm not American?) but I'll tell you what I do.
I usually do all the processing in the cgi-script and then use HTMLTP (slightly modified to fit my needs) in order to send all the variables I need (and have generated) from the script to a template web page.
That web page usually consists of three or four distinct pages. One or two with the header and LOTS of layout information, the body page that handles the bare presentation of the info and the footer.
The header(s) and the footer are simple pages that get included in the "body" page, and as such I completely seperate my coding from my layout.
I find that way of working EXTREMELY time saving, plus it gives me the opportunity to handle my pages to a web-designer / graphic-artist and not have him mess with my actual info at all :-)
HTMLTP is a Templating module, and i definitely know that there must be a couple more doing the same thing (more or less) out there.
Hope I helped a little bit

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
