Dear Democco,

Here's an excerpt from one of my own ad-hoc template files:

    -----------------------------------------
    <html>
    <head>
        <title>n.html</title>
        <base target=$DocTarget>
    </head>
    <body>

    <hr size=20>
    <br>

    <center>
            <a href=$PrevIndexNum.html#$LastPrWord target=cx>
                View previous block of entries
            </a>
    </center>

    </body>
    </html>
    -----------------------------------------

This is simply a self-standing file, eg, 'template.1.html'.

I just read the file into a string, and then do substitutes for all the
'$varb' constructs, as in:

	$Str =~ s/\$PrevIndexNum/$PrevIndexNum/ ;

After all the substitutes, you just write the string out to the appropriate
file name.

Hope this helps,
