Haha. I know, I know. But trust me, you don’t want to use
XML::Template. And while Text::Template is perfect for anything
not involving markup, I hate doing markup stuff with any of the
other choices available. Not for lack of trying either. I’ve been
around a couple of blocks.

And in reality, whether this module does eventually make it onto
the CPAN depends on whether I still believe in the approach after
I put it through its paces in actual projects in the coming
months.

Ugh, please no. :-)  I hate branded names. You won’t catch me
ever putting something with a branded name of my own device on
the CPAN, unless it’s a standalone application.

>Good luck. Sounds fun.

Thanks! It is, actually. I think anyone who appreciates XML will
appreciate what I’m doing.

I also just thought of something staggeringly simple a few
minutes ago: XML::XMLTemplate. I think that fits excellently, and
while redundant at first sight, it is actually descriptive (I
guess it fits very well into XML-land in that way :-P), and it’s
also disctinctive and does a good job of setting the module apart
against XML::Template. And I can see someone who pounds
[xml template] into CPAN search and gets back both results being
curious enough to check out both.

So I think I have my name. The teddybear, or something. :-)
