I personally feel that CSS frameworks are a bad idea.

If you stick with regular CSS, you are using the lowest common denominator and will be 100% compatible with anyone, can go anywhere. With the framework, you are stuck in that system, have backed yourself into a corner.

With regular CSS, you can validate the code to the point where there are zero errors. With the framework, that may not be possible. There might typically be errors in the framework code itself. You can't change that code, you're stuck with it.

With regular CSS, anybody can look at your files and understand them. With the framework, only the limited group who understands that special framework can make sense of your files.

With regular CSS, you will become expert at CSS, and can apply that knowledge anywhere. With the framework as a crutch, you may never really learn CSS.

I'm sure there are advantages to using a framework. Maybe if you are doing something quick and dirty, it's a good idea. But for the long run I think you are better off with CSS, either as part of a web site template or something you write from scratch.

css::packer

CSS::Packer(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					  CSS::Packer(3pm)

NAME

       CSS::Packer - Another CSS minifier

VERSION

       Version 1.002001

DESCRIPTION

       A fast pure Perl CSS minifier.

SYNOPSIS

	   use CSS::Packer;

	   my $packer = CSS::Packer->init();

	   $packer->minify( $scalarref, $opts );

       To return a scalar without changing the input simply use (e.g. example 2):

	   my $ret = $packer->minify( $scalarref, $opts );

       For backward compatibility it is still possible to call 'minify' as a function:

	   CSS::Packer::minify( $scalarref, $opts );

       First argument must be a scalarref of CSS-Code.	Second argument must be a hashref of options. Possible options are:

       compress
	   Defines compression level. Possible values are 'minify' and 'pretty'.  Default value is 'pretty'.

	   'pretty' converts

	       a {
	       color:	       black
	       ;}   div

	       { width:100px;
	       }

	   to

	       a{
	       color:black;
	       }
	       div{
	       width:100px;
	       }

	   'minify' converts the same rules to

	       a{color:black;}div{width:100px;}

       copyright
	   You can add a copyright notice at the top of the script.

       remove_copyright
	   If there is a copyright notice in a comment it will only be removed if this option is set to a true value. Otherwise the first comment
	   that contains the word "copyright" will be added at the top of the packed script. A copyright comment will be overwritten by a
	   copyright notice defined with the copyright option.

       no_compress_comment
	   If not set to a true value it is allowed to set a CSS comment that prevents the input being packed or defines a compression level.

	       /* CSS::Packer _no_compress_ */
	       /* CSS::Packer pretty */
