If I may add one thing to this: The goal of HTML::Template was *not* to be the "View" in Model-View-Controller. The goal of HTML::Template was actually to maximally separate application code from HTML code, and to provide an interface which was easier for non-programmer HTML designers to work with. If it so happens that the goal of separation of HTML from Perl is compatible with a particular approach to development (such as MVC), that is entirely coincidental. FWIW, IMHO, <TMPL_IF> enhances the separation of HTML from Perl code. Before <TMPL_IF> it would be necessary to have a <TMPL_VAR NAME="CONDITIONAL_OUTPUT_HERE">, which was much worse. I also believe that the decision to only provide Boolean operators (not relational: <, >, etc.) also enhances the separation of code from HTML. If you disagree, you can always create your own filter.
