I've been cruising these forums long enough to spot a question that's going to get a reply of "use a module." merlyn beat me to it and Ovid actually showed it. As a writer of fairly utilitarian Perl code (simple forms processing and MySQL for dynamic pages) I'm a little nervous about all this module talk. Having said that, I'm using and loving HTML::Template and GD.

If anyone has a suggestion of where to go to get/read more elementary stuff on the scary modules (Programming Perl is too scant--more on how to create them), and which ones do what and simple tutorials on how to use them, we module neophytes would stop posting questions about parsing HTML.

As one still new to the monastery, I'm open.

Thanks module-saavy monks!

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


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
