in reply to Re^2: I am about to write my very own templating module.. in thread I am about to write my very own templating module..
One of the main issues with homegrown templating systems compared to popular packages available on CPAN such as TT2 or HTML::Template is the performance: most writers of homegrown systems focus on the syntax, not on performance: parsing speed, compiling to Perl, caching, all these are hard to get right. A homegrown system with a simple parser written in Perl using regexes might do a fine job but will offer poor performance under heavy traffic.
