modperl-site's face liftup

Hi,

Doug and me have held a private discussion about modperl-site's face
liftup. I have voluntered to program the tool to make things automatic.
Thru the discussion we decided that the interesting parties might want to
be involved both in shaping the concept and giving a hand. For this moment
I'm reposting my emails to Doug which embrace the idea. Please followup...

Ok, Thanks Brian!
I'll give it a try

indeed, personal experience. we use wml as a perl source
code preprocessor at cp, but that really only uses a tiny
bit of its power (the eperl pass).

wml is a wrapper around several different pieces of
software, which it applies to the input file in a series of
nine `passes'. it handles nested file includes, arbitrarily
defined html tags, m4 macros, embedded perl via eperl,
perl-style here docs, etc.

there is an auxiliary tool `wmk' which seems to operate akin
to make. i've never used it, but it might be handy in this
situation.

our intranet publishing system at cp utilizes a cvs commit
script that triggers a cvs update on the intranet server. we
could use a similar system and run wml over the source tree
via make after updating.

Hi, Brian

I've a few little scripts I use for my site, but it should be writen from
scratch.

Why do you think the WML will fit better? (Personal Experience?) WML is a
new for me, I'm not sure it worth the time to learn it...

I went to the URL above, but the site "has died in my hands" - the server
went offline after a few clicks :(

Thank you!

does this tool already exist? if not, it sounds like
something to build on top of ralf engelschall's wml
(http://www.engelschall.com/sw/wml/).
