Re: CGI From Templates

CGI::FormBuilder might be useful.
Check out the tutorial

It can handle templates, generate forms (inc javascript validation), does stickiness, sends email...

As for the pdf/database/email part, I suggest you keep that totally separate from the form part. Maybe share metadata but that's it.

Thanks I'll check that out. I do want to keep the output seperate, i'm looking for ways to kinda add a handler for the print, so i could add a new one that outputs a PDF or Fills in a db or whatever. Thanks, Eric Hodges	[reply]

Two ideas for the output: Template Toolkit - I think it can do PDF via Latex (a vague unreliable memory) and it's a great framework to use and extend. Pipeline - I haven't even used this myself but it may also help keep your processing separate and modular. It's used by OpenFrame to output to various media from the same source.	[reply]
