Re: Re (tilly) 1: Creating A Custom Markup

I was unaware of Text::Template, so I am looking into applying that instead, however, it still appears that it has a different functionality than what I need. I want to apply files (plural) to a template, not apply a template to a file. Also, what is the name of the utility that you speak of?

The utility that comes with the Template::Toolkit is called ttree. Before going farther I suggest reading this introduction to using the template toolkit for building websites. Remember this. Templating tools are one of the most often re-invented wheels in the Perl world. We have quite a few of them, with very good ones suited to all sorts of different niches. Rather than roll your own I strongly recommend figuring out what your desired feature set is, and then go out and find one that already does that.	[reply]
