Very useful document comparing templating systems:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/tutorials/tmpl/comparison/comparison.html
Especially the funny debate between mini-lang and in-line, 8^)

Not satisfied, I wanted to make it possible to do something like:
<% code_ref Util::Test_Util::test_expand %>
and have it swap in the text output from the sub into the template.
That way, unlike other templating applications, I could get away from
writing my own mini language and use the full power of perl in a sub
called by a simple tag in the template.
Do you realize that almost every templating system on CPAN already does
this? If you are doing this because you think you've hit on a new
feature, stop now and download one of those. If you're doing it because
hacking perl is fun and you're in no rush, then go ahead and have a good
time.
