Besides CGI, what would be some examples of approaches that are not "inline-perl approaches"?
Unless I misunderstood
perrin, I think s/he may have just meant that not all templating approaches use Perl for their 'embedded' languages.
Template::Toolkit, for example, has its own little language. (I couldn't tell, because I'm not familiar enough with
Embperl, whether you're looking for a templating solution or something else, but the suggestion of
Mason makes me think that at least what you want to do is within
TT's bailiwick.)
