Working with recent versions of bugzilla, I took a look at Template.
It's kind of interesting.. =20

Internally, there are similarities to PSP:  there is a "template" source
directory, and a template build directory containing intermediate files.
The intermediate files each contain a hash defining an automatically
generated anonymous subroutine that is called when the template is
referenced and various other fields.

It doesn't seem like you can call subroutines from within the rendering
process.  It looks like you do your logic and set some fields in some
global variables.  Then finally, the logic calls $template->process(),
which I suppose expands nested template references and writes to stdout,
substituting the static values into your page, and providing a handful
of condition and looping constructs.

It's sort of hard for me to tell if anyone uses PSP.  I suspect Netzah
will strongly consider it if we do any web stuff in the future.

Mason still doesn't really seem to have the right model.

It's been a while, but if I remember correctly, I wanted to be able to
support:  "-I/dir1 -I/dir2"  -- and had problems with GetOpt::Long,
either because it didn't support the short arguments and wanted
"--include=/dir1 --include=/dir2" or perhaps because it didn't support
multiple occurances of a single argument.. I don't remember.

sigh.  I guess I need to research why GetOpt::Mixed died, and consider
bringing it back to life.  I liked it a lot better than GetOpt::Long.

Do you know if anyone uses psp?

PSP only supports a pre-compilation phase, where .psp files are compiled
into a "pile".  Unfortunately, the piledriver currently cannot compile .psp
files on the fly.

However, you can do the same trick with the pre-compiled piles.  One
reasonable way to use AddType and AddHandler is via the following:

 AddType pile .pile
 AddHandler pile /usr/lib/cgi-bin/psp/piledriver.cgi

 Alias /piles/ /usr/share/piles/

.. in order to access http://localhost/piles/tutorial.pile/intro

I believe something along these lines should work.

I just re-ran through those build instructions myself, and it appears that
"make test_samples" fails because it cannot find the modules that were
installed in /usr/local/psp/lib/perl5, and hence the sample piles were
never installed.

Please try the following:

 export PSP_CONF=/usr/local/psp/etc/psp.conf
 export PERL5LIB=/usr/local/psp/lib/perl5
 make test_samples

If this works, I'll go ahead and update the documentation.

Unhandled   Error::Simple   Exception
/usr/local/psp/share/piles/guide.pile not readable: No such file or
directory

thrown at /usr/local/psp/lib/perl5/PSP/Loader.pm   (line 304)

is the error i get on all psp documents the file it is looking for is not
there and I followed the instructions to a T any other ideas?
