Yes, I did. The big difference between Text::Template and mine is the outside-in approach and the conversion of a template into an anonymous sub, apart from simplicity to have it as generic as possible. But Text::Template (as well as all other packages I've seen so far) are a great source for studying, to get me think of pitfalls I might not yet have considered.

Just two details of Text::Template to highlight my concern: the usage of Safe in Text::Template, and it's concern about tainted data. Well, I think that's none of the templating functions's business, but of the caller.

The builtin parser in Servlet (or OI) is for HTML, the plain text extension would be a bit more than just three s///, because it has do deal with whitespace properly.

Point is, I want something as close as possible to format and write; and with effective caching.
