Re: PHP to PERL ?

Both Template-Toolkit or HTML-Template and probably other templating systems have features similar to what you mention. You may even want to look at Catalyst which is an MVC framework (somewhat like Ruby on Rails), which can, e.g., use Template-Toolkit as the view (the 'V' in MVC). There's lots of good info at Survey of Surveys on HTML Templating systems also.

Re^2: PHP to PERL ? by Anonymous Monk on Dec 27, 2005 at 23:32 UTC
Well, some of what I'm wanting looks like it will be covered by that. However, some doesn't. Part of what I'm looking to do is call extra code from a seperate file. For example, the section we are looking to change over has a seperate file called by the main file that defines all the SQL section. Another file we are looking at is called to handle the code needed to change an RSS feed into HTML. That's part of what I'm looking to learn about as well. Is that part of where you pointed me? Maybe I'm just not seeing it. Thanks for the replies.	[reply]

I'm not sure how vague to make my answer, but Template-Toolkit comes with a plugin for XML::RSS, it's straightforward to "call code from a separate file" (see Simple Module Tutorial or Including files or even Writing Modules for CPAN), and there's different ways to store your SQL in another file (e.g. database abstraction layers like Class::DBI or DBIx::Class...also see A brief survey of the DBI usability layer modules on the CPAN, or straight SQL storage like SQL::Catalog).

Not being an extremely experienced programmer, I think I was asking the question wrong lol. From various replies, it looks to me I was actually looking for more than one answer. Part of what I need seems to in the templates, some seems to be just calling code, but from a file, and some from other ares. The replies I got though are pointing me in the right direction though, now I need to go do some reading in the various different manuals. Thanks everybody, God bless.	[reply]
