Most pages here on the server actually are generated on-the-fly... It just
doesn't always show the .cgi extenion.
The server uses a system called PML ("Perl Markup Language") which blends
HTML and Perl, so things can be written like this:
...
«my $msgid = $art->Header('Message-ID')»
«my $tree = LUGNET::News::Thread::ThreadTree($msgid)»
«if ($tree && ($tree->{PARENT} || $tree->{CHILD}))»
<BR><SMALL>Messages in this thread:</SMALL><BR><BR>
«LUGNET::News::Thread::PrintHtmlThreadTree($msgid, $tree)»<BR>
«/if»
...
It's pretty fast to assemble components and new dynamic web pages this way,
and lots of fun too.
Larry, would it be useful to you if a the big list were chopped into smaller
lists -- displaying, say, a couple dozen articles on each page, with
forward/backward between the pages -- ?
