Wanting to promote perl to have it get a bigger market share seems to be a "rite of passage", similar to developing a new templating framework for web programming, as the saying goes...

Nothing wrong about that, just do it, but don't complain. If your templating solution beats existing ones, it will be the one of choice sooner or later. If you promote well...

But all that "perl promoting" ado reminds me of the old framework stanza:

Don't call us. We call you.

The framework is perl, CPAN, the community. The framework promotes you.

And you, being thus invigorated, use the framework, promoting it...

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}

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.
