in thread Avoiding reinventing the wheel: report generation systems?

Apologies for a vague specification. Desired features:

Here's an example of a templated section, written in psuedo TT2 code ...

## PSUEDO CODE "Parsing [% num_major_files %] files generated a total of [% num_major_incidents %] incidents, falling into [% num_classes %] classes. Table [% an autogenerated table number would go here %] presents the top 10 incident categories. Note that [% top_incident_class %] comprises [% top_fract %] of the cases ....
A good DTD would get me much of the way there. I'm seeking an decent XML spec for sections, tables, figures, captions, etc. rkg

    I couldn't find any module on CPAN that seems to do what you need. The modules you suggest seem reasonable, though. Also have a look at Chart::Base for generating diagrams, though. And good luck with this one.
    Cheers, CombatSquirrel.
