Hi jimt, i liked your article, i'm just another guy who wrote his own template system.

I have to say that in the process i experienced many of the same problems than you. It has been very enrichment to read the mental chewing behind the scenes.

Sadly i also believe that "there's more than one way to do it" is a bare and a bone, i can't complaint about it, because i did it (i built my own template system).

What's good: "There are many ways to do it”.

What's Wrong: "There are many ways to do it”:

Which one ?
What's the more popular ?
What are the benefits of this over the other ?
etc.

It's similar to what happens with people trying to get into Linux, the first “and complex” question they face is: ¿ What distro to use ?

People new to Develop Web Applications with Perl get confused on the large number of tools at different levels available.

I don't pretend to criticize Perl Tools Developers, what i mention here is a real fact that probably don't have any solution.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
