Hello,

I'd like to announce the first public release of HTML::EP, a
modular, extensible system for Perl embedded HTML, similar to
HTML::EmbPerl or HTML::Mason.

HTML::EP�s features include:

 - Runs as a standalone CGI binary or with mod_perl.
 - Uses HTML syntax, thus well usable from within HTML editors
   and better understandable for Non-programmers. This is similar
   to MiniVend.
 - Extensible via modules, currently available modules include
 - Localization; one HTML file may appear in multiple languages,
   see

       http://www.heckerwerke.de/cgi/ep.cgi/mail/input.ep

   and

       http://www.heckerwerke.de/cgi/ep.cgi/mail/input.ep?language=en

   for running examples
 - Session management similar to Apache::Session
 - Support for connecting to SQL engines via DBI; this is much
   simpler than what DBIx::RecordSet offers, but hopefully also
   easier to handle.

For running examples, see the SNMP::Monitor package on

 http://www.zvw.de/snmpmon_public/

The package is available on any CPAN mirror, in particular

 ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/modules/id/JWIED

On the TODO list are:

 - Speedup by moving the Parser to XS code
 - Example HTML files

Any feedback highly appreciated,

Jochen
