htree - building static HTML pages from templates

[Jason A. Crome-3]

Hello,

Been hacking on a little utility for a project I'm working on.  htree  
takes a bunch of page fragments and embeds them in the HTML::Template  
of your choice, allowing you to easily generate a number of static  
pages in one fell swoop.  This is greatly easing the deployment and  
updating of my project content.

It's rough, I won't lie.  It can read into subdirectories, but it can  
only write out to a single directory.  It's lacking any meaningful  
tests (which to say, it's pretty well missing any).  It hasn't been  
well checked for bugs.  But it has done what I've needed it to, so  
far ;)

You can get it here:  http://cromedome.net/downloads/HTML-Template-Htree-0.1.tar.gz

I'll upload to CPAN in a few days based upon feedback, etc.

(I also posted this to the HTML::Template list, but reposted it here  
since there are plenty of H::T users in the CGI::Application community).

Enjoy!  Patches and tests are very, very, very welcome!
Jason

Hi Jason

I've found Pod::Webserver is superb for this type of thing, although it
doesn't aim at quite the same target your module does.

It ships with the script podwebserver.

So, running that in the background with:
shell> podwebserver &
means I can (since I run Apache) point my browser at
http://127.0.0.1:8020/
and have access to all POD for all modules, because the program indexes
all modules found in @INC.

And yes, it won't automatically see a newly-installed module's POD, but
that's a minor issue.

There are other solutions, too.

For instance, there is the powerful but awkward-to-use Pod::POM, for
which I wrote a wrapper http://savage.net.au/Perl.html#fancy_pom2_pl
some time ago.

These alternatives to your module are not meant negatively, but rather
simply indicate people should be aware of all alternatives so as to be
able to make a well-informed choice.

Is it possible for a CGI to create/upddate two or more webpages at once?
Please offer me a hint as to how?
Thanks
Lou

Frankly, my advice is: Forget it! It's obviously a complicated process
at best, and almost certainly you don't really want to do it.

Having said that, I would update the first page, and have JavaScript on
that page update the other page, if such a thing even works.
