The HTML::Template module attempts to make using HTML templates simple and natural. It extends standard HTML with a few new tags for variables, loops, if/else blocks and includes. A file written with HTML and these new tags is called a template. Using this module you fill in the values for the variables and loops declared in the template. This allows you to seperate design (the HTML) from the data, which you generate in the Perl script. While there are many other HTML template systems available, this module is simple and fast. It doesn't try to reinvent Perl CGI, it just augments HTML with a few new and very useful abilities.
