I should have looked - that was dumb. But looking at the code, they seem to be using a similar approach.

Which is good.

It just seems annoying to have to require a module whose purpose, in my code, I am accomplishing in a few lines.

It's the old roll-your-own scenario. I'll insist on using my own code because I'm-only-using-it-in-this-one-place and probably 6 months down the line, I'll rip it out and replace it with one concise nicely written and document module installed from CPAN.

But how else do we ever learn?

Now where is my home-rolled templating system? No, not those ones, the other one.
