RE: [htmltmpl] placing .tmpl files in a subdirectory?

[John B. <joh...@ya...>]

To stir the pot a bit:

If you're going to put the template in the same file
as your code, you might as well forget HTML::Template
altogether and just print out your page with a "print
<<HERE;" statement and embedded variables. It amounts
to the same concept: first you prepare your
substitution data, then you print the page making the
substitutions. And the print version is more
versatile, although less maintainable.
