in reply to Because CPAN Needs More Templating Modules

Why learn a whole new language for templating when you already know a perfectly good one?

You're kicking in my open doors. Eventually my first meditation here was about the same - compiled templates converted into coderefs - and I've been discouraged, wrote a followup, packaged AutoReloader for my own needs, uploaded it to CPAN and moved to other things.

It looks like if ideas are carried out by the right people, they have a better chance.

Looking into your module. Thanks.

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

    Agreed.

    So am I. New wheels by quality people deserve a good test drive imho. Why not? They've provided quality help/code/responses in the past, and just because a wheel has been redesigned a few times, who's to say the newer design isn't more efficient/effective/durable?

    I'm good with new thoughts on old problems; sometimes projects that have been around a while have a specific focus where possibly a new one has the agility to step outside the box and implement something new that nobody has seen before.
