FWIW: The current consulting assignment that I am on the client creates bill presentment and bill payment applications for third parties. In their baseline code they make extensive use of the HTML::Template module and an OO approach to generate both forms for gathering input for processing and presenting information from SQL queries.

Without disclosing proprietary information I can say that they use Dreamweaver® to create the HTML and pop it into some simple modules that just return the HTML. The HTML is then passed through HTML::Template for variable substitution and the pages are then rendered. Very slick.

The beauty of this arrangement is that bill presentment and collection is generally the same no matter who or what the biller is. The firm gets to settle on a code base and then reuse that code base on only modifying the presentation and business logic.
