If you are interested in looking at Another Way To Do It, take a
look at my Apache::TT2 module, which is not on CPAN (yet?) but is
available on sourceforge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/apache-tt2/.
It works very similarly to Apache::Template, and is based on the
Grover module that I submitted to Andy a few months ago.
At boston.com, we are using Apache::TT2 in one of our subsites,
and are planning on using it more as we rearchitect our other
subsites. It is stable and fast (mostly due to a lot of caching
of compiled templates on big-ass machines), and has very few
problems (although it is mostly unoptimized and does some silly
things in places).
Go ahead and take a look at it. The latest tarball is at
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/apache-tt2/Apache-TT2-1.24.tar.gz.
