Also TT is extremely slow compared to something like Text::Xslate. Xslate has the benefit of being a more pure View.

Having looked at the documentation for Text::Xslate I see that it is "a template engine, tuned for persistent applications". As I rarely write persistent, or at least persistent applications with enough output to warrant a template, this is probably not the one for my needs.

Also Template Toolkit seems to have more extensive and clearer documentation and examples. These cover areas beyond just HTML. Web development is just a part of my coding so I think this is where I am going to start. It has also been around long enough that several Monks have become familiar with it so I can hopefully get the guidance I need when I inevitably get stuck 😊
