note davido <p>It sounds like you're looking for a templating system. [mod://HTML::Template] will allow you to set up templates that are completed via Perl. You can even use HTML::Template to "include" templates from other files. That allows you to set up a framework template, a header template, a footer template, and so on, just pulling them all together as appropriate.</p> <p>Eventually you may want to look at a more full featured framework such as [mod://Mojolicious] (probably starting with a [mod://Mojolicious::Lite] application). That provides templating, and a whole lot more. It helps to promote a separation of concerns (Model / View / Controller), which has become a fairly standard way of doing things, and certainly a "best practice."</p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-281137"> <br /><p>Dave</p> </div></div> 1006658 1006658
