(dooberwah) Re: Re: CGI.pm and W3C

I need the CGI.pm functions as well so I can get input from forms. I suppose I could have a script to do the outputting (w/ templates) and a script to read the input (w/ CGI.pm). How does this solution hold up in the real world?

There is no harm at all in using CGI.pm just to read the input... since it's self-loading, the HTML functions only get loaded if you use them, so there's little penalty in using both CGI and templates in the same script. Check out the Template Toolkit for a very flexible templating system. stephen	[reply]

I use CGI.pm and HTML::Template together and it works great. See: using CGI, DBI and HTML::Template (a mini tutorial with example code) gav^	[reply]
