As long as the main feature of keeping logic completely separate from presentation is left intact, this is great news. The limitations of H::T are the exact reason we chose it as our templating system. > To that end, I've got the following goals: > > + Add a <tmpl_elsif> tag YES, PLEASE! > + User defined escapes Also welcome. > Any questions? Comments? Verbal Abuse? Any offers of help? If there were a way for child loops to use vars from the parent loop if they do not exist in the child, it would be great. The global_vars feature puts the vars into -every- loop, which is overkill and incurs a very hefty speed penalty. It also clobbers same named vars in the child. As a result we don't use global_vars at all and manually populate child loops with parent vars explicitly as needed. This makes the perl get a little ugly but prevents the speed hit. All in all, great news. The module still works great, but improvements are always welcome!
