[cgiapp] ANN: Plugin for HTML::Template::Compiled

[Mark Stosberg <suppressed>]

Following the precendent set by the plugin for HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot,
I've released another plugin for another HTML::Template alternative,
HTML::Template::Compiled.

My plugin should be on CPAN by now, but here's an alternate link if it's
not:

http://mark.stosberg.com/perl/CGI-Application-Plugin-HTCompiled-1.01.tar.gz

The benchmark script included with HTML::Template::Compiled showed it to be
about 5 times faster than plain HTML::Template. (And about 10 times
faster than TT... )

Further, it adds several interesting new features to HTML::Template.

- die_on_bad_params has been removed (yay!)
- There's a dot notation like HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot provided
- <tmpl_comment> lets you leave comments in the templates that don't
  rendered.
- <tmpl_switch> cleans up if/else chains in the templates. 
- A shorter ASP style notation is available:
  <%IF blah%>  <%= VARIABLE%>  <%/IF%>

There's some other cool things in there as well. 

Be warned however that the module is still young and lacks some polish.
I have already  noticed and sent patches for some minor bugs:

- The "new_..." shortcuts were missing, like "new_file()", etc. 
- There were no checks in new() to make sure actually passed in a valid
  template source.
