note gnosti I am building my first perl module. It helps my coding to be about to [% INCLUDE something % ] and have the something be dynamically generated by perl code... like code for testing purposes as was mentioned above or parts of a Parse::RecDescent grammar, for me. TT makes it possiblel for me to break up a long program in which the scoping limits of 'our' forces me to keep the entire contents together. 338891 339090
