( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Please don't inline HTML, SQL, or anything that is not perl.

In my current job, I need to clean up (rewrite) 400,000 lines of Perl/SQL/HTML/Mail/... in 800 or so CGI scripts. You can just imagine how horrifying it is. The guy who wrote it initially had run away with his life. Anyways...

I'm contemplating the idea of having each section of the program output in plain simple XML and then do the transformations to HTML/PDF/Anything using XSLT or any other XML templating tool. That way, I'd have total separation between logic and presentation.

Hope this helps,,,

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
