Have a look at CPAN's Text::Template. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 10 January 2003 12:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] Perl Passing variable to text file?
Hi All, I am creating a script that will read set fields from a document, and output them in html format from a template. The perl script reads the data in, and assigns variables to the necessary fields, but I am having problems outputting it. What I would like to do is: example perl script (myscript.pl): my $variable = "some word"; sample template html file to read in(template.html): <html><body> my variable is $variable</body></html> end result: <html><body>my variable is some word</body</html> is there any way to accomplish this? The only way I know how to do this is to print the html template at the end of the perl file, but this is undesirable. I'm sorry this is hard to read, but its hard to explain.
