after reading that post, i should elaborate more. This would be my index.html for instance: 
<html>
<body>
[% INCLUDE header.html %]
[% check_login() %]
Welcome to the site!
[% INCLUDE footer.html %]
</body>
</html>

[download]
now, the user would directly request the index.html page, and apache would (theoretically) run it through a mod_perl handler first, which would interpret the TT2 directives, *then* serve it to the user. It would also make a huge library of predefined perl functions available as TT2 directives (such as check_login(), which would check for a login cookie and, if found, authenticate the user).

Is this a solid idea to use perl and TT2? or should we go with ASP or some other solution?
