Hmm. So if you were doing substituting with $template_copy =~ s {<span tal:replace="(.+?)".+?</span>} {$template_var_hashref->{$1}}g; would that do everything you need? I'm seriously considering publishing a Template::Substitution::KISS or something like that in a futile attempt to piss higher than Uri Guttman. With the substitution target regex configurable, it could be used against arbitrary variable identification syntaces. -- David L Nicol Do you really not know the difference between underscore and dash or are you just being difficult?
