We wrote our own templating system (back when modperl was still just a puppy) as we have over 200 sites running off the same code instance distributed across the server farm.
Everybody wants their submit buttons to say something slightly different, we were forced early on to remove all hardcoded html from the code. The reason for all that code is that there is just a lot of functionality there (text analysis, vectorspace matching, billing, customer management, message system). Much of it has been migrating into our java-based backend system (I'm sure a year ago the number of lines of code would have been substantially higher) as we retire all the business logic that was embedded in the modperl frontend and maintain only the java version which runs in the backend.
