The Template::Toolkit language is pretty easy to pick up

I just see no sense in introducing a mini-language for templates. Perl has all things necessary ready for that, and with use strict you're on the safe side. Mini-languages just introduce an abstraction and ask you to believe they are reliably coded. TT claims to "Do The Right Thing" with its glob-like variables. How can I know?

Seems like TT covers your 5 pts.. but if you're under such a time crunch, you're pretty much forced to go w/whatever works best (read:fastest) for you, which is probably your custom-tailored solution..

The point is, every templating system covers the 5 points, but it's about templating - with no system - in the most standard perl way possible.

greetings,
--shmen
