Could use Text::Petal (or Text::PerlTAL) You could also use Template::Petal (or Template::PerlTAL). There are modules in the Template:: namespace that aren't related to the template toolkit: Template::PSP, Template::Qtpl. I think Template:: is too general to be dedicated to a single module/framework. Tim.
