Hi talexb...

As you said those solutions have advantages and disadvantages... You won't find the 'one and only' right way to do it... I use both of them becouse my key variable is frequency of changes in a database. If it's a news board or something like this, then it's generated live. If I can add a new data for an update daily, then it's static and linking directly to the URLs doesn't make any sense (URL is still valid, but the content is different).
If you don't know which one to choose then try making it live, becouse then (if it's done well) you can 'generate' static HTML without real generator (using wget or something lik this).
Choosing 'live' solution you won't get into the dark alley... besides (with the power of Perl) it's only a few keystrokes to make it statically generated using cron... Good luck!

Greetz, Tom.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
