I started learning PHP for this very reason, but I keep coming back to Perl. I've read some about Template Toolkit and others, but what I'm still confused over is if these templates _must_ be located in cgi-bin or can you embed code anywhere on your site? > you can put your templates wherever you want (at least in catalyst, you just let it know if it's not in the default location with the default extension - never used tt on it's own but many do). > If possible, I would like to be able to embed perl, placeholders, > templates, whatever, anywhere on my site.

Any help in pointing me in the right direction will be greatly > appreciated. i think you're looking for a way to nicely put html into perl than the other way around. if this is the case, i'd recommend looking at the dancer documentation (you could just use tt, but why when you've got nice mvc frameworks to *help* keep your stuff in the right place). if you have bigger projects or find yourself limited (or just want a bigger headache) look at catalyst. outside of what you've asked, if you want real power, look at psgi (plack in particular). hth, but not too much :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
