Re: HTML::Template

in reply to HTML::Template

I like more Template::Toolkit. There are a few reasons but the important one is ergonomy - visibility of the template in the HTML. For example your code:

  <html>
  <head><title>Test Template</title>
  <body>
  My Home Directory is <TMPL_VAR NAME=HOME>
  <p>
  My Path is set to <TMPL_VAR NAME=PATH>
  </body>
  </html>
[download]

and TT style code:

  <html>
  <head><title>Test Template</title>
  <body>
  My Home Directory is [% HOME %]
  <p>
  My Path is set to [% PATH %]
  </body>
  </html>
[download]

For me the template variables here are much more visible, while in HTML::Template you need to concentrate a bit to see where the Template is and where the HTML tags are.
