RE: H::T in mod_perl (probably FAQs)

It should work.  The only trick with the "param" function is that if it's
called with no arguments, it should return all the params that it knows
about.  I've written quite a few modules that provide a param function and I
then pass those to HTML::Template and they work perfectly.

The way I use H::T in mod_perl is to just do CGI code through
Apache::Registry.  In other words, I do the following:
 my $cgi = new CGI;
 print $cgi->header;
 print $template->output;

If you have something that will generate the headers for you, then feel free
to use that.  Personally, I like the Apache::Registry way of doing things as
it's very easy to run the same script in a non-mod-perl space.  That, in
turn, makes it easy to debug scripts written by people who don't understand
the nuances of mon-perl.

Subject: [htmltmpl] H::T in mod_perl (probably FAQs)


Just some dumb questions by a new HTML::Template-user-wannabe.

1.
My goal is to use the 'associate' H::T option in a "pure" mod_perl
application (i.e. no CGI code handled by Apache::Registry or
Apache::PerlRun.)
Does the following work?

        use Apache::Request;
        use HTML::Template;
        sub handler {
                my $r = Apache::Request->instance(shift);
                my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename =>
'template.tmpl',
                                                  associate => $r);
        # some other code
        }

Apache::Request has a param() method that behaves much like the one from
CGI.pm query object, so it should work... But unfortunately the only
'associate' example showed in the H::T pod uses (only) CGI, hence my
question.

2.
A more general question(s): how do you use H::T in mod_perl? Just CGI code
through Apache::Registry or you write your own pure
mod_perl(tm) handlers?
If so, do you know/use any (simple) mod_perl framework which could be
considered the pure mod_perl counterpart of CGI::Application? The only one
found so far by me is Apache::PageKit (which does a lot more than
CGI::Application really). It seems good, but I'm always scared to find
myself sooner or later trapped in a too restrictive environment when using
such frameworks. What do you think about PageKit?

Thanks a lot.
