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::EPīs 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
