Why did I decide to make PLies?

What do I like?

• XLSies output is just great
• SlideMaker simple input html format
  
• Solutions which are Perl-based

What I don't like?

• Java-based XML solutions
• dependency on external Perl libs

What do I have?

• an itch (think as Raymond's-like itch)
• many slides made in SlideMaker
• need for something better
