I may be a bit of a square since I'm still shy of modules and all the object notation ... which means I can't comment on the greatness or robustness of Text::Template however I have written several cgi scripts that utilize the aforementioned hash lookup for template points to be replaced by the associated value and since this method doesn't eval the replacement text, it remains just text and therefore pretty harmless to the server... it could pretty easily embed nasty java for the client but AFAIK it's not going to be able to do anything from your server other than spit out verbatim in html. Maybe this is redundant. Maybe this is redundant. So please forgive me. TTFN & Shalom.
