I still have extra blank lines I haven't figured out how to rid myself of, which wasn't an issue with H::T.
If you can effort the extra memory you can use a [%FILTER%] with a simple regex to get rid of the blank lines. But, if your not outputting text/plain who cares about newlines in html, xml and the like?
USEing plugins just feels too much like code to me.
Plugins are one of the strengths of TT. The ability to move the DB logic (DBI connections, querys, etc) into the template, is a feature I don't want to miss anymore. With plugins you can pull in the power of every perl module into your template.
