Displaying HTML with perl

Hramyzn has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, I'm starting a project and I need a bit of help. The problem is, how do I print HTML in a browser without putting the HTML code directly inside the Perl code. I'm familiar with the print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; way of doing things, but I'm looking for a way to have example.pl and webpage.html files and by typing the URL which leads to example.pl the webpage.html is displayed. I want to separate the program logic (the .pl file) from the display (the .html file). Any ideas?

Have a look at HTML::Template and an intro to it. There is also sample code on this site which includes CSS and jquery!. "You're only given one little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it." - Robin Williams	[reply]

Hello, you could use the template toolkit, which aims to seperate code and web content. I have not used it, but it is discussed in these books Perl Template Toolkit and Advanced Perl Programming.	[reply]

I ordered and read that book, but I found the usages less-comprehensive than what I could get out of HTML::Template	[reply]
