Use a module... My favorite is HTML::Template, but there are plenty. See http://search.cpan.org/~samtregar/HTML-Template-2.6/Template.pm

Also, please give me a good regex? I will have a formatted html page with some keys that I want to replace. For example, ... <!-- here my token is a ! --> <td>First Name:</td><td>!fname!</td> <td>Last Name:</td><td>~!lname!</td> ... 2 - Can I read in the whole page and do a replacement? I'm thinking it's either a line-by-line or a whole page as below: #line-by-line replace token $line ~= s/!fname!/$fname/ #or put the whole template in $page ~= s/!fname!/$fname/ $page ~= s/!lname!/$lname/ thanks, -rkl ----------------------------------------- eMail solutions by http://www.swanmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
