Perl template toolkit

Více o knize

The biggest cause of unmaintainable websites is mixing markup code like HTML with programming code such as Perl. A templating system is the best way to separate these. The Template Toolkit is the most powerful and user-friendly templating system for Perl, serving as both an introduction and reference for programmers, web designers, and anyone frustrated with tangled web code. It allows for embedding Perl code and custom macros into HTML documents to create dynamic content. Unlike other systems, it can easily generate PDF, XML, or other output formats alongside HTML. Its simple templating language enables non-Perl users to write and edit templates. This toolkit combines the best features of its competitors with ease of use and flexibility, making it fast, powerful, and extensible for web content and dynamic document systems. Written by core developers, the book covers the entire process of installing, configuring, using, and extending the Toolkit. It includes detailed information on its modules, libraries, and tools, along with a complete reference manual. As the only book dedicated to this essential tool, it is a must-read for any Perl programmer aiming to create easily maintainable dynamic web content. This guide ensures successful implementation of this flexible and powerful templating system.
