A template system should (IMO) do exactly that. The logic shouldn't be
embedded in the templates. That's why I settled on CGI::FastTemplate
(Yes, yet another templating system).

I don't want any code/sql in my templates, and it works out fine that
way for whatever project I do. And it's certainly easier for the
project's webdesigner to gasp when there's no code they can break by
using whatever windows-app they want to use to edit their html.
I tried Mason and other of the more featurefull template systems out there
but I always ended up going back to CGI::FastTemplate.
