The current project I'm working on actually began with Yams, but I
quickly discovered that their templating system consists of hardcoded
strings in a config file. That was unworkable for what I was doing (I
needed to have many sites running off a single backend).
I'm now using HTML::Template for my HTML needs. (Thanks Sam!). However,
Yams was an excellent starting point for me - the DB schema was most
valuable. I have since completely rewritten everything, so there is
nothing of Yams left. My personal opinion is that is would work for a
single site, but it would benefit a LOT from OO perl. Objects are the
only thing currently saving my butt from meltdown. :-)
YMMV of course.
