It is very easy to use DBI and such from inside a TT2-template and if all else fails you can use pure Perl in the templates.
And that way lies madness :-)
Throwing Perl code and direct DBI access into TT2 templates rapidly produces an unmaintainable mess in my experience.

Yes, but it takes a genius to master chaos!Seriously, it is not much different from adding print-statements with HTML-code in your Perl-script. It would take something like Catalyst to keep all the various concerns nicely separate.

You're right it's not much different, just from the opposite direction.
This, of course, doesn't mean that it is a good thing :-)

Nope. All it takes is writing presentation oriented TT2 plugins. Easy.
