ohh ok. I'm in the middle of a program right now that manages web sites really easy. i thought i would get ideas from you.

It's something I made...very simple. Actually, not much of a template (I haven't needed anything more complex).

I use the following code to call the "template:"

$body = qq|This is the body|;
&build_html("This is the title", "this is the location, for visual nave purposes", $body);

Then in a global file I use:

sub build_html {
 local ($title, $location, $body) = @_;
 print qq|
  <html>
   <head>
    <title>$title</title>
   </head>
   <body>
    You are here: $location<br>
    $body
   </body>
  </html>
 |;
}

It's a little more complex than that, but not much. I then keep subroutines for the diferent templates I might need. I know I should go to something else, but this seems like it would be faster than opening a file, parsing it, etc.

Template system? Whats the URL?

I like the idea...I would have used it a year ago. But I already have a template system! But, there are A LOT of people who would find this useful.

Good job.
