in thread HTML::Template - what's the rule of thumb?

they are neither pure programs, nor pure mark-up but a hybrid of the two, which IMHO combine the bad things of both for little benefit.
what, in your view, are the "bad things" of programs and mark-up that templating systems combine? I am very curious..

Mainly the fact that "programmers" still have to look into the layout side of things and "layouters" still have to do some programming (simple as it may be). A templating system still does not fully dissociate logic and layout, whereas the "XML / XSLT / DTD / CSS" combo does.
