FWIW, I find your critique interesting and look forward to seeing your ideas develop.

Your detractors are correct about their key points:

CPAN is cluttered with templating systems.
Writing one's own (bad) templating module seems to be a standard part of a Perl programmer's development. (I wrote one, it sucked. When I undestood CPAN I ditched my sucktastic module as quickly as I could manage.)
Buying software is cheaper than writing it. (OK you don't pay for software from CPAN, but the idea is the same--perhaps strengthened since the libraries are free.)

If you didn't understand these things already, the response to your first post should have informed you of these issues adequately. Continuing to belabor these points is just a waste of time.

It would be nice to move on and see some critique of your ideas and methods here. Sadly, I don't think this is likely--posts about "My exciting new templating package" touch a raw nerve in these parts.

I don't fully understand your code examples and don't have the tuits to give them the attention they deserve. However, your stated goals appeal to me (a perlish templating module that does templating only and integrates seamlessly with other perl libraries).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
