Re: Advice Choosing a Templating System

in reply to Advice Choosing a Templating System

If you are afraid that the content/layout people might mess up with a "difficult" templating language, you could have a look at Template::Magic and its friends.

For not too difficult pages, it works a lot like SSI and can even handle loops, etc. in a straight-forward way without having to jump through too many hoops or including very un-HTML-like tags.

Beware: Template::Magic is one of the many DOMIZIO modules, which I've categorically ruled out based on past behavior of the author (the only person who has ever gotten my ire up enough to do that). -- Randal L.

Care to elaborate? Is his code bad, or do you just dislike the author and think the rest of us should too?	[reply]

A little search with Google revealed that Domizio's Makefile.PL's "phone home", as Randal calls it: If LWP::Simple is installed, they execute a CGI on Domizio's webserver to notify him of the installation. Personally, I agree with Randal that this is questionable at the least, and I consider this an invasion of my privacy.	[reply]
