Text::BasicTemplate v0.9.6.1 ---------------------------- This is a template parsing module for perl5 and higher. Originally written for use with HTML templates, it has proved quite useful for many kinds of printable-character file parsing. Essentially a highly flexible, efficient search-and-replace mechanism, it is typically used to parse templates on disk using specified key/value pairs, conditional evaluation, etc. Templates and the locations in the templates of substitution keys are cached, so each template will be parsed at most once. Text::BasicTemplate does not eval anything from the templates, and passes taint checking accordingly. It uses references internally wherever possible for efficiency, and provides type-flexible arguments to the important functions (passage of substitutions by scalar, hash, hashref, etc). Copious documentation and examples provided within. Enjoy. Devin Carraway Tue Nov 10 16:21:01 PST 1998
