Honestly, if I have this much trouble adopting CGI::Tiny, Template would be beyond my ability. I have never understood OOP stuff. Abstractions like references and pointers and classes, etc. are over my head. I have to accept the reality that my mind is not gifted in those areas, and I work with what I have. I have tried. Lots of times. I've even read those chapters in the O'Reilly Perl guide more than once.

Okay, so, downvote me to oblivion. In any case, Tiny's not working out. Either something is wrong with it or its installation on my system, or I don't know how to implement it--which implies, too, that the example code for it is flawed or incomplete, because I attempted to follow that exactly. I do wonder if anyone here is actually using it.
