is there a particular reason why you've not chosen to use one of the very
excellent existing templating systems? i've used HTML::Template for many
things; it's very lightweight and incredibly easy, and i'm pretty sure it
would solve your problems. lately, i've been getting into
Template::Toolkit, and i find it to be *very* powerful, easy, and much
more flexible than HTML::Template. i'd really recommend you exhaust all
your options with one of the currently available template kits on CPAN
before you roll your own.
