Search for the word "template" on CPAN and you'll get more results than you probably wanted. How can you tell which one is right for you? What sort of programming models do they allow? Can they be used for non-HTML output? Will they work with plain CGI? Will your HTML coders understand them? How fast are they? All these questions and more will be covered in this talk, as we survey the available options from bare bones SSI to full-blown development tools like Mason.
