Hello All,
I'm writing a social networking CGI script, and it's reached the point
where I should really separate the HTML from the logic. I've been
looking into the various templating solutions out there, and I'm having
a hard time deciding which is best. Anyone have suggestions/feedback
about favored modules (functionality, efficiency, etc.)?
Thanks!

(This'll be running on apache w/ mod_perl).
I use HTML::Mason with MasonX::WithApacheSession for all of my web apps
and it works great. I'm a *huge* fan, actually. I run my site Super
Duper Games (http://games.daltons.ca) with it. If you're doing only a
few pages, it might be a little bit of overkill, but if you plan on
scaling, I highly recommend it.

Try as many as possible, it's worth the time investment.
Template Toolkit is my favorite, it balances features and simplicity
well.

HTML::Seamstress, PeTaL, and XML::LibXML, in that order. View
HTML::Seamstress in action with CGI::Prototype and Class::DBI here:

Aaron, did you see his requirement? He wanted to *separate* Perl from
HTML not confuse it as Mason does...

I registed as princepawn... it took awhile to load but finally
did. Look forward to trying the site.

Speed problem got fixed yesterday. It should run at a good clip now.
And I apologize. It wasn't clear just how separate he wanted things.

Perhaps but Mason has no concept of separation. It is for embedding
Perl into HTML and therefore is completely off the mark for the
intended design object - correct me if I'm wrong.
