Perl Embedding Engine --------------------- It is a template engine that allows embedded perl code in arbritrary text (HTML is most likely the case) templates. It is similar in concept to Sun's JSP and M$' ASP. The project is hosted on sourceforge.net Project homepage: http://pee.sourceforge.net/ Author: William Tan Features -------- * Simple design The design of PEE is extremely simple. The idea is that a template will be pre-compiled (we call it the "page compilation" process) into valid perl code, which is then executed. * Simple syntax There are only 4 different types of special PEE tags that can go into the (HTML) template, i.e. code blocks, expression blocks, pee directives, and comment blocks. * Flexible Because the core of PEE is the page-compiler. Special enhancements can be made outside of the core module, like cached compilation or execution daemon. You also have several choices for using PEE, from the most conservative (offline generation) to the more dynamic (Action directive), or invent your own! * Compatible The output is simply Perl, how much more compatible can you get? * Easy-to-install Unlike many template languages, PEE does not require mod_perl, which could be a pain. VIM syntax highlighting ----------------------- If you are a VIM user, you may edit PET files with syntax highlighting. Install the 'misc/pet.vim'. Read the VIM manual for instructions on installing syntax files. The documentation is organized as follows: INSTALL - installation instructions INSTALL.FastCGI - using PEE with FastCGI README - this file SYNTAX - directives FAQ - faked questions & answers (until I get real ones :) TODO - todo list
