This is a great
article comparing web templating systems in perl. It's neat to see how the author has categorized templating systems. Plus I love how he starts the article:
Go on, admit it: you've written a templating system. It's okay, nearly everyone has at some point. You start out with something beautifully simple like $HTML =~ s/$(w+)/${$1}/g and end up adding conditionals and loops and includes until you've created your very own unmaintainable monster.
