I'm used to the way of simply inserting tags of code in html, like PHP or ASP or JSP etc...that's what I gravitate towards to naturally

Others have suggested Mojolicious and I will throw Template in as a suggestion. It handles all the display for you through templates (there's a surprise from the name!) but without changing the underlying Perl language.

If you want to include Perl in your templates you can - either as a sub which the template calls or directly embedding the Perl.

I'm not a user of Mojolicious so I may be mistaken, but it seems to me that Template is easier to learn if you already know Perl. I have certainly not found anything I want to do with web and email programming that Template cannot handle. I think it was hippo who introduced me to Template - for this I will be grateful to the end of my days...
