HTML::Formulate =============== HTML::Formulate is a perl module used to produce HTML forms. It uses a presentation definition hash to control the output format, which is great for flexible programmatic control, inheritance, and subclassing (e.g. defining site- or section-specific HTML::Formulate subclasses and then producing standardised forms very easily). On the other hand, it doesn't give you the very fine-grained control over presentation that you get using a template-based system. Example: # Simple employee create form $f = HTML::Formulate->new({ fields => [ qw(firstname surname email position) ], required => [ qw(firstname surname) ], }); print $f->render; prints: <form method="post"> <table cellpadding="2"> <tr><th style="color:blue"><span class="required">Firstname</span></th><td><input name="firstname" type="text" /></td></tr> <tr><th style="color:blue"><span class="required">Surname</span></th><td><input name="surname" type="text" /></td></tr> <tr><th>Email</th><td><input name="email" type="text" /></td></tr> <tr><th>Position</th><td><input name="position" type="text" /></td></tr> <tr><td align="center" colspan="2"> <input name="_submit" type="submit" value="Submit" /> </td></tr> </table> </form> INSTALLATION The standard: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module uses my HTML::Tabulate module, as well as Carp.
