Maybe we weren't explicit enough before. Simply have your scripts
generate the body of the html documents (that's everything that
you put between the <BODY> and </BODY>. We'll also take care of
adding the navbar to the pages). In addition, the first line
should look like (using the proper title):
#use wml::debian::template title="DOCUMENT_TITLE"
When we do the daily updates of the web site, your pages will
automatically be converted into proper html and look like the
other pages on the site. Yes, it is possible to run perl (more
properly eperl) from within the wml documents, but you probably
don't need it for your pages.
We suggested doing it this way to make your life easier, not
harder. :) Please trust us.
