1: I did this to see if it helped performance. It didn't, but I didn't change it back before posting.
2-3: I'll try these and see if they do anything interesting.
4: Yeah, I know. I've got a seriously hacked up copy of CGI::FastTemplate that I've been using for years, so it has a style that I've gotten used to and, more importantly, that the Web page designers I work with have gotten used to. It's also a PITA to maintain, so I rewrote it to be more legible (and I hoped faster, but it turns out not). I'm trying to decide if I should keep my hacked up copy of CGI::FastTemplate, use my rewritten replacement, or just use another engine. That got me started benchmarking different templating engines, which led to optimizing this sub. Maybe when I've done a little more research I'll Seek some Wisdom on the merits of the different templating engines...

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
