Your website is one of the ways in which the world sees your company.
It is therefore very important to have a professional looking website, which
evolves with your business.
Traditionally, the html used to create the web pages was output by cgi programs, which had the html hardcoded within them. This lead to the situation, that if
a web page needed altering, it would have to be done by a suitably qualified
programmer.
It also meant that if the web pages were produced by a graphics
company as html files, they would have to be broken down into print statements
within a cgi programme. Once the pages had gone live, the graphics house could
not alter them directly, instead the same cgi programmer would have to alter
the html within his program.
We have produced the Perl HTMLTMPL.pm module to alleviate these problems.
This module will allow your graphics teams to produce traditional html pages
using Frontpage, HotMetal, etc as they have always done. This html page then
becomes a template which the perl programs can access via HTMLTMPL. Within the
templates are tokens which the perl can directly update. The merged data and
template is then sent to the web browser.
This keeps the html tags out of the perl program, and makes maintenace
of the website possible using traditional web page editors, despite
the web pages consisting of variable data output by the perl cgi programs.
And the cost of this software? Its free.
Why is it free? So that you can see the skills and forward thinking that we
can bring into your companies IT environment. We think of it as our loss-leader.
