I disagree about rolling a custom framework; unless a company is in the business of making frameworks. There are many template frameworks in Perl at all levels of control and most have communities and available devs and test suites and documentation and free bug fixes. 15 years ago maybe, maybe, it would have been worth rolling a new solution for a specific problem. Today there is no developer who could produce a better engine economically—including tests and documentation and answering questions for the other devs/designers—than at least one of the options on the CPAN.

Rolling your own template engine is long considered a newbie rite of passage undertaken specifically because one doesn't know any better.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
