HTML::Template doesn't look like it's expandable. The FAQ mentions the possibility of adding new commands to the language, but it looks like that involves rewrites of the source code itself. > > Anyway, rather than creating a new syntax, why not submit patches to > some existing templating system to add the features you want? > Two concerns I would have are author permission, and support. Let's say I want to extend Text::SimpleText with the features I want, and then upload it back to CPAN. The original author of Text::SimpleText may have concerns regarding his or her input, and how this code splits affects any future work they may have wanted to do on Text::SimpleText. Now we run the risk of having two different systems with the same namespace Text::SimpleText. That can lead to problems down the road with other modules that require Text::SimpleText, which can lead to installation checks during module or software install that no longer work correctly. > What do you mean by "uber"?
