Re: Need advice (module) to parse nested IF/ELSIF..

Sounds like you're writing a templating system. Maybe you should look at existing ones, like Template Toolkit, HTML::Template, Text::Template, Excel::Template, PDF::Template, etc.

Sounds like you're writing a templating system Clippy, is that you? ;-) Seriously though, I'd second the Template Toolkit recommendation. You (the original poster) can use the `START_TAG` and `END_TAG` config options to set the start and end tags to "<%" and "%>", then just process the template. Here is the example from tt2's Config documentation: `my $template = Template->new({ START_TAG => quotemeta('<+'), END_TAG => quotemeta('+>'), });` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks to all for all the hints. I found the ScriptTemplate which possibly can do what I need. Best Regards Tai	[reply]
