[ANNOUNCE] Apache::ASP 2.35 bugfix release
Hey, I have released Apache::ASP 2.35 to CPAN. This is a minor bugfix release. For more information about Apache::ASP, please see http://www.apache-asp.org, and to get on the mailing list please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note that users of CPANPLUS get errors at "make test" stage because it seems that Archive::Tar does not untar the Apache::ASP distribution correctly. I have reported this bug to the maintainer of that module. -- Josh _ Joshua Chamas Chamas Enterprises Inc.

HTML::Template is a "do one thing and do it well" module. If you want routines for formatting "numbers, dates, etc." then CPAN has just what you need. > How do you make sure that it's done consistently in your applications? Code reviews and testing.

HTML::Template::Expr may present a solution to this particular desire, although it isn't one I've come across. How often are HTML designers fiddling with numeric formats? Are they really HTML designers if they can deal with, say, a printf-style format string? -sam
Apache->server_root_relative(); not found
HI, sorry if this is the wrong place, I am new to the mailing list.
I have apache/1.3.23 and mod_perl/1.27 (I just upgraded) and perl/5.6.0
When I try:
BEGIN {
use Apache ();
use lib Apache->server_root_relative('lib/perl');
}
I get compilation errors saying that it can't locate object method
"server_root_relative" via pachage "Apache". BEGIN failed.
Can any-one help me out or point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Yes, they are, and printf isn't so much harder than JavaScript, style sheets, and templating tags. One place where this comes up is date formatting and internationalization. Making the model objects understand locale and act appropriately is not always a good approach, and supplying a date format in the template - which is all about appearance anyway - seems appropriate. This can also be useful when the same date needs to be displayed in multiple ways, like an abbreviated format on one page and a fixed length format in an e-mail template. You could make the controller do this sort of formatting before passing data off to the view, but I think it's an awkward fit and increases the coupling between components unnecessarilly. Obviously there are lots of ways to solve these problems, but what I like about doing it in the template is that it puts these concerns in the hands of the people who control the rest of the look-and-feel issues in the application, and gets them out of the perl programmers' way. - Perrin

> It is interesting to try and fit our approach into the MVC+template > pattern Just to clarify, it's not MVC+template; it's just MVC. The templates are one way of implementing views. You could mix and match this where appropriate, so that your Excel view is a perl module with a set of formatting guidelines stored in a sort of style sheet, while your HTML view is simply a template executed by a templating module. > I see the Controller as also responsible for deciding what to do with > the results of rendering the DOM in Excel or HTML formats - Views > don't decide how their results should be distributed. This is typically something you would put into the controller, since the view shouldn't have to worry about details like HTTP headers. - Perrin

You can actually do that pretty comfortably with Template Toolkit. You
could use a filter for example, which might look like this:
[% FILTER font('my_first_name_font') %]
... some text, possibly with other template directives in it...
[% END %]
The filter is a module which would get to post-process the output of the
contained block.
I believe the taglibs in AxKit could be used in a similar way.
