note sundialsvc4 <p> At first, I thought that you wanted to <em>parse</em> an HTML file as an input, to get information out of it. &nbsp; For that purpose, I would have suggested that you search for <tt>"html parse"</tt> at [http://search.cpan.org]. </p><p> But instead I think that you may want to <em>generate</em> a customized HTML content using the file shown above as a <em>template.</em> &nbsp; There are numerous templating engines available in Perl. &nbsp; My personal favorite happens to be [mod://Template::Toolkit]. &nbsp; Although it is most often used in interactive web-sites, it can be used very well in situations like this, especially when you would like to <em>vary</em> what is produced, e.g.: <tt>"Thank you for your payment! :-)"</tt> <i>vs.</i> <tt>"Pay Up Now, You Scum, Or Your Parakeet Gets It! :-["</tt> depending on the balance. </p><p> Start with this tutorial, which deals specifically with how to generate a file (or a string) from a templated source: &nbsp; [mod://Template::Tutorial::Datafile]. </p> 1001443 1001443
