You don't say.  ;-)

That's not good news...

I'll work something up.

I've played around some with creating server-manager panels based 
entirely on HTML::Template and had mixed feelings about it.  The primary 
hurdle that I found myself running into was the extensive use of style 
sheets in FM panels.  This makes HTML::Template very difficult to deploy 
and still maintain the look and feel of the current server-manager.

I'm wondering now if hard coded templates (i.e., stock templates) could 
be placed in a template repository directory.  These templates would 
contain appropriate logic and "css stuff" to generate the desired form 
with the right look and feel.  Maybe this makes more sense than fighting FM.

In a nutshell, I'm trying to come up with a panel approach that can be 
successfully deployed by the community.  For the most part, no one 
outside of Mitel understands FM.
