The main purpose of this module is to support HTML templates for CGI programs. Therefore, HTML pages design can be kept separate from CGI code. However, the class is general enough to be used in other contexts than CGI application development. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION You should be able to install the module(s) with the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install If you want to install in a specific directory, try: perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp/myperl5 make make test make install --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOCUMENTATION Documentation is in POD format and should automatically get installed with the module(s). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Earl Hood, ehood@pobox.com http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/ 99/07/07 21:53:58
