Re^2: choosing the best templating system

Would you mind telling me a bit more about the drawbacks?

On what machine were you running, how was the memory usage of the module? what version were you running, were you able to fine-tune or cache the templates?

Would you suggest another systen then Petal, since it's not mentioned in the other nodes that go about this subject, and the fact that it's supporting international (i18n) makes it interesting for me, and i'm quite charmed by the way the tal-tags are implemented in the xhtml-tags. Till now i allways was using HTML::Template and HTML::Template::Expr.

The newer HTML::Template::Pro i wanted to trt did not compile on my machine however.

On what machine were you running, Fedora Core 3 running under VMWare on Windows XP SP2. The machine is an AthlonXP 2500 with 756MB of RAM. how was the memory usage of the module? It's hard to say. MKDoc is generally a memory-hungry system so it's not easy to say how much Petal contributes to that. were you able to fine-tune or cache the templates? I didn't spend the time. In this case a few seconds was acceptable. The newer HTML::Template::Pro i wanted to trt did not compile on my machine however. Gee, that's too bad. And I thought it was supposed to be the professional version! ;) -sam	[reply]
