Why not create libraries for "rendering" data. And what little logic you need for it, put in there.

One thing I used to do, for putting results in pages, was to provide my data to a display object, and have the display object do all the heavy work of either just doing a straight template->render() call (we used a custom template solution like HTML::Template), or populate certain parts based on the data.

The other solution, is to use a "stronger" template engine. HTML::Template is great if you do the above. But things like TT or using XML::XSLT (i like this one) leaves you better off. With XML::XSLT, at least your template language is more universal. Some XSLT implementations aren't as complete as others, but the basics usually are.

Bart: God, Schmod. I want my monkey-man.

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! —
