I am suprised no one has really recommended Text::Template written by Mark-Jason Dominus. The best thing about this module is the templating logic is Perl, not some made up something else to learn.

I like to break out my display logic into a separate file, so I have code, display logic, and template. The template only contains output variables (so webdesigners don't have to mess with logic elements) and it gives me the power to change the template based on display logic. So I can deliver HTML, plain text, XML or whatever, I can also internationalize output easily with this method.
