There are already something like 36(!) of them in the CPAN.

Perhaps that's got something to do with why everyone wants to write his own. I certainly thought of it (and then thought better). Because if there are 36 to choose from (A) it opens up the hope of getting a perfect template, which is in fact a doomed hope unless one writes one's own; (B) why should I think mine won't be as good as number 30 at least? (C) how the devil do I choose one of them - and by the time I've assessed all thirty-six I could have written my own.

My point is, I would be very glad to hear of any other monk's experience with one or more of the different systems, particularly if capable of comparing one with another. That way my choice of one out of thirty-six would be a little less random...
