From: Jochen Wiedmann <joe@ispsoft.de> Subject: Announce: HTML::EP 0.1101 Date: 23 Sep 1998 00:06:28 GMT Hello, I'd like to announce the first public release of HTML::EP, a modular, extensible system for Perl embedded HTML, similar to HTML::EmbPerl or HTML::Mason. HTML::EPīs features include: - Runs as a standalone CGI binary or with mod_perl. - Uses HTML syntax, thus well usable from within HTML editors and better understandable for Non-programmers. This is similar to MiniVend. - Extensible via modules, currently available modules include - Localization; one HTML file may appear in multiple languages, see http://www.heckerwerke.de/cgi/ep.cgi/mail/input.ep and http://www.heckerwerke.de/cgi/ep.cgi/mail/input.ep?language=en for running examples - Session management similar to Apache::Session - Support for connecting to SQL engines via DBI; this is much simpler than what DBIx::RecordSet offers, but hopefully also easier to handle. For running examples, see the SNMP::Monitor package on http://www.zvw.de/snmpmon_public/ The package is available on any CPAN mirror, in particular ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/modules/id/JWIED On the TODO list are: - Speedup by moving the Parser to XS code - Example HTML files Any feedback highly appreciated, Jochen -- Jochen Wiedmann joe@ispsoft.de The principle virtues of a programmer are +49 7123 14887 laziness, impatience, and hubris.
