Thats maybe a little unfair, but only a little!
I too point people to HTML::Template, not because it is better but because it is much simpler, and to be totally honest, it is all that most applications require. Template Toolkit is great and Andy Wardley has done a terrific job with it, there are also a number of 'plug-in' modules that go with it. If you want something to do more than just deliver HTML then Template Toolkit is worth a serious look.
As for me, I looked at it. Got scared by the degree of complexity and ran away! Went back a few months later and still had the same thoughts. It has a steep learning curve. HTML::Template, on the other hand, is much simpler and you can master it in a day for doing the sort of things youare talking about.

PS I have another project coming up shortly where I feel that TT will be suited and I will use it then. For now I am serving up stuff from a database and HTML::Template does everything I need.
