What is fast to cook, good to eat is HTML::Template. No XML, easy abstraction between your web designer and developer.


I GREATLY prefer using TAL ( in perl using Petal ) for the V

someone finally made an integration for Petal and Catalyst. unfortunately I've build my own MVC since then


I like TAL because its cross platform - its easy to offload urls into php or python and reuse all of your templates TAL does have a downside- as do all the other templating languages - they've all alllowed feature creep to turn them into micro-languages or processing languages.

Whatever you use, MAKE SURE you keep as much of the convenience code / templater speciific text out of your templates. That stuff is neat and useful, but it blends designer and programmer way too much. It will drive you insane.
