You'll get no argument from me in the separation of code from HTML department! I've not been active on the mod_perl list in the last year, but do a search in the archive -- I'm pretty rabid about it. This is a different situation. I'm not looking for a templating system. I'm looking for a system which embeds Perl code in HTML -- a server page system. If you want to think about it as I do, think "better server-side includes". I have another automatic system which is going to write out pages containing this code from templates, so there is no human who is going to ever edit these pages. > Er. Are you sure?

I use CGI::Application and HTML::Template, but I'm biased. ;-) The need in this case is not for serious applications. This is "better SSI" for predominantly static web sites. > Again, not to be awfully fanboyish, but I would hesitate to > use H::T in > a new site.

This would be a mod_perl server. The reason I'm asking is because I'm looking for a "better SSI", and I was actually leaning towards PHP -- mostly because PHP is popular I have ample access to PHP coders (while all my Perl coders are up to their eyeballs with work). When I said that in the office, one of my programmers clarified how much he hated PHP, so I thought I'd take a second look at Perl *SP systems. Plus, why not leverage our software infrastructure?
