Re: Generation of dynamically-static documents

This sounds like a job for make. You can run anything you like in the makefile rules, including perl/cgi scripts. Shell redirection is available, and make will only run what is necessary to update from new data files.

ExtUtils::MakeMaker is available to help write makefiles, but may be too specialized to module building to be helpful.

I wonder if that's why I wrote a column on using Make with Template Toolkit to create websites. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]

You left your withering sarcasm on again. Try to save it for when people do something more unforgivable than being unaware of a column you wrote. Caution: Contents may have been coded under pressure.	[reply]
