Maybe the best approach would be to make templating systems less restrictive. whether using a single perl script, splitting script and perl (HTML::Template) or embedding perl (HTML::Mason) there are clear disadvantages. An alternative is to join all three methods together. Have a file that is a perl script but contains the ability to include templating and embedding. For example:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my $script;
my $template_variable = "templating";
while(<DATA>){
my $line = $_;
$line=~s/\n//g;
if ($line=~m/^(\s*)%(.*)/ig){
$script = $script."$2\n";
}else{
$script = $script."print \"$line\n\";\n";
}
}
#print $script;
eval $script;
__DATA__
<html>
normal HTML
%print "embedding perl \n";
$template_variable
As little or as much templating or embedding could be done depending on the requirements of the project, without changing framework and using perl as much as possible.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
