Re: [htmltmpl] Is HTML::Template pure Perl?

[Carl F. <C.A...@du...>]

Hi Dan,

Yes, HTML::Template is pure perl.

To figure out if any other module is pure perl, search for it on
search.cpan.org
Then follow the link with the module version number (e.g.
HTML-Template-2.7).
Then click on the [Browse] link to view the modules' files.
If there are no *.xs *.c or *.h files and no 'b' folder, then the
module is probably pure perl.

For HTML::Template, you could create a folder in your home directory
called (for example) 'lib' and then copy the Template.pm file into
'lib/HTML/Template.pm'.
With shared hosting, you may be unable to change environment variables,
in which case you could use the 'use lib' command, eg:
use lib "/home/dan/lib";

Hope this helps,
Carl

Hi all
 
I'm looking for an HTML templating system that is pure Perl. The reason
is
that I need a templating package that can be installed on shared hosts
without requiring the hosting service administrators to compile
anything.
I'm after something that is OS agnostic, so if I use it with a cgi app
it
would run on Windows, UNIX, Apache, IIS, etc. I'm kind of hoping that I
can
copy the root tree and set my PERL5LIB variable apprpriately. Does
HTML::Template fit the bill?
 
Regards
