Re: Re: CSS and perl

I kneel in reverence to the (very prestigious) saint whom honoured my humble node.

Yes, it was one of the replies I was expecting.
I'm fully aware of the full potential of templating with HTML::Template,TT, Embperl and like...

Nonsense?? Maybe...
Honestly, I hate mark up. Of course I use it as others do. But I'm trying to avoid being friends with it. Of course there are modules and plugins that minimize the mark up usage in templating tools.

I just love extreme integration. (Even in math!! hehehe)I think I'm writing my own templating system in which there is no mark up but OO integration of CGI, and DBI, and CSS, and hey even dynamic SWF generation via (ming)Perl.
My purpose is to integrate PRESENTATION+ DATA. And if exists, may GOD spare us from Tk...

I might have not expressed my intention properly, besides it wasn't the point in the first place; the fact is, I'm not creating a skeleton with CSS layout. Maybe for I am a physicist, I'd like to think everything in matrices.
As a skeleton analogy suggests, skeleton itself, holds the body together, upright... In this case, it is my matrix that holds everything, and layout is just one of the things it holds...
The skeleton is the MATRIX! Each matrix element describes a unique DIV, and inside the matrix element we have many many other references related to presentation and data, living happily together...
When I finish what I am trying to, I'll show it!!

I see more of where you are going with this now. While i still see it as potential overkill, i can still where it might be useful. I'd like to see what you come up with. I am still a bit suspicious about using this for clients who really want more flash than substance, but for those of us who care more about the data, this could be useful.
