The one you have (CGI::FastTemplate) or Apache::SSI are pretty good in low-memory situations. Others like TT and HTML::Template can be set to not cache things in memory, but it will slow them down. (They do some disk-based caching, but it's nowhere near as fast.) In my opinion, it's still worth it to use a more powerful system for most people, even if it's slightly slower than FastTemplate or SSI. The exception is running under CGI, where code compiling really hurts you. - Perrin
