Does the larger project involve "larger chunks of code", of the sort you've moved to templates for? Probably.

Does the larget project, therefore, use templates? Hopefully.

If so, then using the same templating system in this module as in the larger project isn't pulling in anything new, it's just using what will already be loaded as a part of the overall project.

And, if not, I wouldn't let that stop me from maintaining a clean separation of concerns by using templates in the module anyhow. On the contrary, I'd start with templates in the module, since that appears to be where you're currently writing new code, then expand from there until all of the HTML content in the entire project is produced using templates instead of coming from mixed HTML and Perl frankencode.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
