Just wondering - variables in html templates

[Seansan]

Hi,

A lot of programs/scripts use templates with different variable
strings/identifiers that are replaced by calculated values from the program.
In my perl scripts I use @@VAR1@@ and s///i to search and replace these
vars. (example= $tmp =~ s/\@\@STARTURL\@\@/$STARTURL/g; tmp holds the
template). I found that PHP even has some kind of standard (much like
@@VAR@@).

- Is there a module/library that one has heard of on this topic?
- Does a standard exist for perl?
- Simple search and replace is one thing, but what about select lists, or
whole tables (rows). The goal is to have as little formatting in the perl
code as possible!!

As I said, just wondering if there is a better way to do this ...


Grtzz, Seansan

There are dozens of them. Is there a reason you didn't go to <http:/
search.cpan.org> and search for "template" before asking this?

I'm just asking for best practice .... As you said "There are dozens of
them". Furthermore my preference is a standard/bp instead of a whole module
to load for a simple opportunity.

No you didn't. You asked if there were any.

Best practice is to have a look at the various modules that are available,
and decide for yourself what one is best for *you*. Opinions and coding
styles vary - that's why there are so many templating modules to begin
with.

Using a module *is* the standard for Perl programming. Even if you wind up
writing your own solution, you'll still put it in a module so your scripts
can all use it.

There was a time one could 'just' ask a question in a newsgroup

Spare me. If you'd put *any* effort into doing the most basic searching for
yourself, I wouldn't have snapped at you. You got yelled at for being lazy,
not for "just" asking a question.

I have several already, thank you. How does that relate to Perl?

I spotted some of your earlier wibble.

I see, you have to be the new "I don't need the regulars"-guy.
Good luck. Score adjusted.
