Hi. I'm a new convert to Template Toolkit.
I want to use TT for the usual form-based Web app,
with the usual features for this--partly populating
a form based on info stored in a database, keeping
the values in place if you need to return to the
form to have the user correct missing/erroneous
values, and so forth. Up to now, I've been using
CGI.pm for html generation and form handling (well,
I'll continue to use it for form handling, I guess).
I suppose I could use something like CGI::FormBuilder
with the TT hooks, but perhaps there's another way.
I wasn't able to find any discussion of this in the
docs, or on Perlmonks, or on the last few months of
this list's archives. But I assume that this must
be a very common need. Can someone give me any
pointers on how to handle this, or to any previous
discussions that I might have missed?
Thanks very much.
