Says jettero:
so my lunatic boss can edit the html without
destroying our dynamic content.
That's why I use them. When I was at Time-Warner
back in 1994, I got tired of having the designers come to me
to ask me to change the CGI programs so to make
the text blue instead of green. And of course I didn't trust them to
edit the program directly.
I invented Text::Template
so that I could tell them to edit the template files and leave me alone.
It worked, too.

At BlackStar.co.uk we need fairly fascist^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hstrict QA/revision control systems. By templating all the markup away from the code it makes this process several orders of magntitude easier.
Designers can modify what any page, or component used across several/many pages, looks like without having to go through the code review / release cycle, and coders can
create code that isn't full of HTML, thus making the code much easier to read and maintain.
