Re: event calendar code: msg#00036 lang.perl.modules.html-template

Why reinvent the wheel? Sure, HTML::Template is a fantastic module and is quite
versatile, but coding up an accurate calendar is by no means a simple task.

I recently discovered HTML::CalendarMonthSimple and found it to be extremely
useful and easy to use. Combine it with HTML::Template and you have something
good going there (this is untested code):

cal.pl
------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use HTML::CalendarMonthSimple;
use HTML::Template;

my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'cal.html');
my $cal = new HTML::CalendarMonthSimple('month' => '2', 'year' => '2004');

# Format the calendar
$cal->width("100%");
$cal->border(1);
$cal->bgcolor("#006633");
# Other calendar formatting is available, read perldoc for more info

# Set some content in the calendar
$cal->addcontent(2, "Groundhog Day!")
$cal->addcontent(14, "Valentine's Day!")

$template->param(CALENDAR => $cal->as_HTML);
print "Content-Type: text/html\r\\r\n");
print $template->output;

cal.html
--------
<HTML>
<BODY>
<TMPL_VAR NAME=CALENDAR>
</BODY>
</HTML>

It doesn't get much simpler than that. Supply your own month/year to
HTML::CalendarMonthSimple and you can do just about anything.

Additionally, HTML::CalendarMonthSimple has the ability to place HTML, links
and other text in each day of the calendar ($cal->addcontent), read the docs
for more information. It's quite easy.
