Text::MagicTemplate README File
===============================


Description
-----------

MagicTemplate is a "magic" interface between programming and design. It makes
"magically" available all the runtime values - stored in your variables or
returned by your subroutines - inside a static template file. Usually no need to
assign values to the object.

(Text::MagicTemplateX::HTML and prerequisites), all in one easy step:

    perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Text::MagicTemplate'


2. Standard installation
- from the directory where this file is located, type:

	perl Makefile.PL

3. Manual installation
- if your OS does not have any 'make' support, just copy the
content of the /lib dir into perl installation site dir, maintaining the same hierarchy
