There a simple filter for Template::Toolkit (Template::Plugin::HTML::Template) that will allow HTML::Template like objects. As for a HTML::Template <-> Template::Toolkit converter that shouldn't be too hard to write, at least for most basic functions. Though I too wonder why you would need this; esp. since a number of function just don't exist in HTML::Template so you'll have to write those anyway should be a simple matter to also convert.	[reply]

TThanks Kutsu: The filter, you mentioned, is useful to me. I like to convert my templates so I can use them with 'Template Toolkit' which has more functionality. I wanted to convert because I can put more stuff into templates in future. I think that, you thought the other way around. --Artist	[reply] [d/l]

I don't have an answer to your question, but I was wondering why you would want to do this? I have read (the nathan macfarland post) someone's comments on switching over but your description doesn't explain what you want to actually do with TT. Celebrate Intellectual Diversity	[reply]

For posterity, there is a lazy way, to translate HTML::Template (H::T) to Template Toolkit (TT) syntax: `use HTML::Template::Convert::TT; print convert($ARGV[0]);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
