Hi Grandfather, I concur with your assessment of Template Toolkit and HTML::Template as regards complexity. However, as shown in Kevbot's reply, Template::Tiny is comparable to HTML::Template in offering a basic feature set without enough rope to hang oneself. And it also provides the upgrade path to TT, so templates made for it will still work once you upgrade for the full feature set. And if you are lazy, the syntax requires less typing, as a template variable is written [% varname %] rather than <TMPL_VAR NAME=varname>

I recommend checking out Template::Tiny; It makes a lot more sense than using the venerable (and perfectly capable) HTML::Template IMHO. (As an aside, even though the author named it HTML::Template, it can be used, like TT and Template::Tiny, to generate any document from a template.)

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
