Re: Text::Template and YAML

In the context of the book, doing this the long way is pretty interesting reading. Many people have made their own versions with template tools though, and you can find some of them here and on CPAN. For one example, see this article on perl.com.

Using templates is a good idea, but for marking up a Perl code template, I'd choose a syntax other than Text::Template's interpolation style, which requires a lot of back-slashing of braces and variable sigils. I think the templates would be easier to read if in the HTML::Mason or EmbPerl syntaxes, both of which are equally easy to fill in.	[reply]

It is possible (and even encouraged by the documentation) to change the delimiters that Text::Template looks for so that you don't have to backslash the braces. For instance: `Text::Template->new(DELIMITERS => ['<<:', ':>>']);` Good Day, Dean	[reply] [d/l]
