NAME

CGI::WeT - Suite of modules to themeify a website

SYNOPSIS

use CGI::WeT::Engine ();
use CGI::WeT::Theme ();
use CGI::WeT::Theme::Loader::WeT ();
use CGI::WeT::Modules::Basic ();

Additional packages may be installed and used. Please check with CPAN for the latest collections.

DESCRIPTION

The collection of CGI::WeT::* modules allow a site to be built from three major components: (1) static themed html files, (2) theme definitions, (3) CGI scripts.

Themed HTML

Static files are built with no navigation or other theme-dependent information. The file consists of a set of header lines followed by the body of the file separated by a blank line. For example

Title: This is an example file

<p>This file is an example of themed HTML</p>

This will produce a page with `This is an example file' as part of the title in the head and the rest of the file as the body placed on the page according to the theme in force.

Theme Definitions

This part of the package depends on which theme loader is being used. A theme definition provides the engine with the information it needs to produce a well formed page. See the appropriate CGI::WeT::Theme::Loader::*(3) page.

CGI Scripts

CGI scripts can be used to extend the functionality of the site and yet maintain a common look and feel according the themes. See CGI::WeT::Engine(3) for more details on interfacing with the rendering engine.
