We usually separate the template names and location to a configuration file,
which the designers can update on their own. It look something like this:
TemplateConfig.pm
==================
package TemplateConfig;
use vars '$AUTOLOAD';
sub new {
my $class = shift;
bless {
_base_template_path => '/path/to/files/templates',
_add_rec => 'emp_add.html',
_delete_rec => 'emp_delete.html',
_edit_rec => 'emp_edit.html'
}, $class;
}
sub AUTOLOAD
{
my ($self) = @_;
$AUTOLOAD =~ /.*::get(_\w+)/;
exists $self->{$1};
return $self->{$1};
}
1;
In the cgi script, the package is instantiated and the file names are used
in the following format:
use TemplateConfig;
$config = TemplateConfig->new();
$filename = $config->get_base_template_path . $config->get_add_rec
