I like HTML::Template, despite the name it does regular text templates as well as HTML.

Recently i've started using Template as well (not sure how to link to that one), its a bit heavier to use and install but comes with tons and tons of options.

These two have fit for me every time so I don't even look for others, might be out there but these are two that have been around the block.

Update:I assumed that your sample was just a sample, if you are actually working with SQL you probably want to use a different solution.

Something like:

my $update = {
        ADDRESS       => 'test',
        customer_name => 'eric' };

my @cols = sort grep { defined $update->{$_}} keys %$update;
my $sql = join (",", map { "$_ = ?" } @cols );
print "UPDATE test SET $sql WHERE id = ?";
#then you can use it like:
# $dbh->execute("UPDATE test SET $sql WHERE id = ?",undef, map {%updat
+e{$_}} @cols, $id);
