Re: [OT] WebMacro (was: RoboWeb 1.0b, web application test suite generator)

Hi,

Please be aware that WebMacro is a moderately popular Java templating tool
hosted at

   http://www.webmacro.org

Naming it WWW::WebMacro might be a bit confusing.
It's your choice.  I just wanted to make you aware of the other WebMacro.

You're right--I just remembered that...
