HTML::WWWTheme is a module that creates a standard header and footer for HTML pages. This header includes <BODY> tags, and is designed to wrap around valid body HTML. After unpacking the distribution, to install this module type perl Makefile.PL make make test make install There are some sample configuration files in the templates directory that you may find useful. Details on how to read from configuration files may be found in the pod for WWWTheme. An image (blank.gif) is included with this distribution as an example -only-. I don't know the legalities of using gifs and all that jazz. I created it with the Gimp, if that makes any difference. If there are any legal problems with using them on public web servers, DON'T use it. Make your own with a registered gif maker. It's not hard -- it's a 1x1 blank pixel.
