NAME
    HTML::DWT::Simple - DreamWeaver HTML Template Module (Simple)

SYNOPSIS
      use HTML::DWT::Simple;
  
      $template = new HTML::DWT::Simple(filename => "file.dwt");    
      %dataHash = (
                    doctitle => 'DWT Generated',
                    leftcont => 'some HTML content here'    
                    );  
      $template->param(%dataHash);
      $html = $template->output();

DESCRIPTION
    A perl module designed to parse a simple HTML template file generated by
    Macromedia Dreamweaver and replace fields in the template with values
    from a CGI script.

METHODS
  new()

      new HTML::DWT("file.dwt");

      new HTML::DWT(
                    filename => "file.dwt",
                    );

    Creates and returns a new HTML::DWT object based on the Dreamweaver
    template 'file.dwt' (can specify a relative or absolute path). The
    Second instance is recommended, although the first style is still
    supported for backwards compatability with versions before 2.05.

  param()

      $template->param();

      $template->param('doctitle');

      $template->param(
                      doctitle => '<title>DWT Generated</title>',
                      leftcont => 'Some HTML content here'
                      );

    Takes a hash of one or more key/value pairs, where each key is a named
    area of the template, and the associated value is the HTML content for
    that area. This method returns void (HTML substitiutions are stored
    within the object awaiting output()).

    If called with a single paramter--this parameter must be a valid field
    name--param() returns the value currently set for the field, or undef if
    no value has been set.

    If called with no parameters, param() returns a list of all field names.

    NOTE: All Dreamweaver templates store the HTML page's title in a field
    named 'doctitle'. HTML::DWT will accept a raw title (without <title>
    tags) and will add the appropriate tags if the content of the 'doctitle'
    field should require them.

    This is a HTML::Template compatible method.

  output()

      $template->output();
  
      $template->output(print_to => \*STDOUT);

    Returns the parsed template and its substituted HTML for output. The
    template must be filled using either fill() or param() before calling
    output().

    print_to: Alternativly, by passing a filehandle reference to output()'s
    print_to option you may output the template content directly to that
    filehandle. In this case output() returns an undefined value.

    This is a HTML::Template compatible method.

DIAGNOSTICS
    Template File $file not opened:
        (F) The template file was not opened properly. This message is
        stored in $HTML::DWT::Simple::errmsg
