How about Cocoon/Axkit?

Switching to Cocoon for your web application environment may be way off, but the following got my attention...

Thinking about it though, I find that I've got to add in a whole new set of directives for handling API calls (that I create) as well as integrating with any XML processor.

...for what the cocoon project calls "logic sheets" or "taglibs": pre-defined functions done in xml, which may then be included in any source document (xml) by inserting a specific "tag".

The advantage is full separation of content, presentation and logic and using standards (xml and xslt in this case).

Besides Cocoon you may want to look into AxKit, similar structure but all done under mod_perl. Perl.com has a good article about using your own taglibs with axkit.

• 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.
