FYI, I switched from HTML::Template to Template toolkit. It's overkill, absolutely. And there are things that make it take far too much effort for use at $work. But, when I went to write the CB stats, I already knew how to approach it, and it was really, really easy.

Mind you, I'm of the opinion that it's better to learn one good multipurpose tool and learn it well, than to learn a bazillion tools, and not really know any of them. I still look at other tools, but I only delve deep into them if they appear to solve a set of problems I don't have a tool for, or if they appear to solve a set of problems better than my current tool. That's why I've delved so deep into perl, and that's why I use XML::Twig for basically anything XML-ish (including manipulation of XHTML).
