Note: this release is published as a beta, as it contains no tests so far. Nevertheless, it is considered stable as it was used in several larger projects. INTRO Welcome! This is the C package, which allows to use an extended version of the traditional C template language with PerlPoints C generators. Please see the POD documentation of the module for all the features provided. The traditional template allows to write PerlPoint styles quickly for people familiar with the traditional syntax. People used to run other template engines can use them, too, given an engine is available. Please search CPAN or the project page for C modules. As a user of a style that is based on this engine, all you have to do is to install this package. INSTALLATION As a prerequisite, install C with the main template layer C. Then follow the usual steps to install a distribution: unpack make test install distclean or use C or C to get all prerequisites automatically. DOCUMENTATION Please refer to the POD documentation of the installed modules, and to the tutorial that comes with C. SUPPPORT A PerlPoint mailing list is set up to discuss usage, ideas, bugs, suggestions and translator development. To subscribe, please send an empty message to perlpoint-subscribe@perl.org.
