Template::TT2Site 0.95

Template::TT2Site is a Perl module to create standard web sites with the Template Toolkit.

SYNOPSIS

$ mkdir NewSite
$ cd NewSite
$ tt2site setup
... make your pages ...
$ tt2site build
... point your browser at html/index.html ...

tt2site is just a wrapper program. tt2site setup is equivalent to perl -MTemplate::TT2Site -e setup, and so on.

Template::TT2Site is a framework to create web sites using the Template Toolkit.

The technical structure of the site is patterned after the method described in chapter 11 of The Badger Book. The structure has been slightly simplified for ease of use, and a couple of neat features are added:

The resultant site is position independent, i.e., it only uses relative URLs to the extent possible. This makes it easy to build partial sites, and to relocate the contents.

The necessary means are provided to create multi-language sites, where each page gets a link to its translations.
The site.map hash, required for site navigation, is created automatically using minimal, position independent, directions.

This module, Template::TT2Site, provides the necessary methods to setup and maintain a site. It is used by the wrapper program, tt2site.
