Wow, CGI::FastTemplate is definitely push-style.. I've updated the main node. Never heard of it til now. Question is, why is it in the CGI namespace? It could be used on plain text and standalone with no web sense whatsoever.

Thing is, breaking a table into 3 files as shown in the full example eliminates one major push-style benefit, the ability to statically validate and clean HTML... and another push-style benefit: the ability to edit with an HTML page-oriented tool.

Interesting module nonetheless.

Finally, your statement about Seamstress and div/class tags is a bit of a simplification. The more recent API calls in Seamstress can use anything that the look_down() method in TreeBuilder can.

• 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).
