[cgiapp] CGI::Application::Plugin::HTMLPrototype

[Cees Hek <suppressed>]

I put together a plugin to make it easier to use HTML::Prototype from
within CGI::Application (specifically when using Template Toolkit). 
It isn't up on CPAN yet, but I'll probably get it up there tomorrow
sometime.  For those who haven't used it, HTML::Prototype is a
JavaScript code generation library that uses the popular prototype.js
library.

For now you can download or browse the release here: 
http://cees.crtconsulting.ca/perl/modules/CGI-Application-Plugin-HTMLPrototype-0.10.tar.gz
http://cees.crtconsulting.ca/perl/modules/CGI-Application-Plugin-HTMLPrototype-0.10/

You should also look at using the latest release of the TT plugin
(will appear on CPAN tomorrow as well) which works very well with this
plugin (although it is not necesary):

Here is the README for CGI::Application::Plugin::HTMLPrototype
============================================

NAME
    CGI::Application::Plugin::HTMLPrototype - Give easy access to the
    prototype JavaScript library using HTML::Prototype

SYNOPSIS
     use base qw(CGI::Application);
     use CGI::Application::Plugin::HTMLPrototype;

     sub myrunmode {
       my $self = shift;

       # Get prototype object
       my $prototype = $self->prototype;

     }

DESCRIPTION
    HTML::Prototype is a JavaScript code generator for the prototype.js
    JavaScript library (<http://prototype.conio.net/>), and the
    script.aculo.us extensions to prototype.js (<http://script.aculo.us/>).
    It allows you to easily add AJAX calls and dynamic elements to your
    website.

METHODS
  prototype
    Simply returns an HTML::Prototype object. See the HTML::Prototype docs
    for information on the methods that are available to you.

TEMPLATE TOOLKIT INTEGRATION
    This module is very useful when used in concert with the Template
    Toolkit. Since version 0.07 The CGI::Application::Plugin::TT module
    automatically adds a 'c' parameter to your template, which gives you
    access to your CGI::Application object from within your templates. This
    will give you easy access to the prototype plugin from within all of
    your templates.

    Here is an example. The following example will create a hidden 'div' tag
    and a link that will make the div fade in when clicked.

      [% c.prototype.define_javascript_functions %]
      <a href="#" onclick="[% c.prototype.visual_effect( 'Appear',
'extra_info' ) %]">Extra Info</a>
      <div style="display: none" id="extra_info">Here is some more
extra info</div>

EXAMPLE
