Before you run off and start using your templating system on all of your HTTP daemons, ask yourself these questions: Sure, you don't need them now ... but you will ;)

Do me a favor. Read my reply OOPS! my reply (hopefully) again and compare the code i submitted to your hand rolled solution above. The template itself is mostly the same, you may like your 'tags' better, but HTML::Template's have the features i listed above. The code also looks mostly the same - these are reasons to use HTML::Template ... or Text::Template. I get the feeling that you did not play around with these modules and get a real feel for them. There is nothing wrong with reinventing wheels for your own education, but there is everything wrong with reinventing wheels because you are too hasty to 'see results now'. Invest time in research, it pays big. ;)
