Re^2: Survey of Surveys on HTML Templating systems

I would say Petal offers the same sort of approach as Seamstress. It's pretty mature and seems to have an active community.

I would say Petal offers the same sort of approach as Seamstress. I thought Petal was the same thing as Seamstress but after joining the GMANE list and reading the docs it is very different. Petal provides a mini-language. Seamstress and XML::LibXML usage is nothing but object-oriented Perl. Petal is xml-based, which is fine if you have well-done XHTML. Seamstress is based around the flexible HTML::TreeBuilder which uses HTML::Parser and can use old skool HTML with no problem. did you see my post about creating alternating table rows with Petal? The way to do that in Seamstress or XML::LibXML is vastly different and in neither of our cases involves a mini-language.	[reply]
