Hi
I would like to include a template engine to my project ( CGI perl ). My project features includes shopping carts, payments etc. Other parts of the projects is written in pure perl. So my options is limited to solutions without frameworks. But wish to include templating to separate code and html. After few research i have found the the following module which seems the best fit.

http://search.cpan.org/~mschout/Text-Template-1.47/lib/Text/Template.pm

Also code will be managed by perl developers. So inline perl is a plus.

If any one used this before, please share your experiences. My primary concerns include maintainability, scalability and reliability. Also plans to use a custom delimiter. please share your thoughts on which delimetter should I choose ( my thoughts {% and %} ).
