Hi,

I have seen your article [1] about Perl template engines comparison on
the new shiny mod_perl site, and it would be good if you could include
the CPAN templating system which I wrote: Petal.

The module is on CPAN, it is now a few month old, has been tested quite
extensively through its small but enthusiastic user base. From the
README file:

-------------%<---------------

  Petal stands for "Perl Template Attribute Language". It is inspired
  from the Zope Page Templates TAL specification, and lets you write
  elegant, WYSIWYG friendly templates such as:

  <ul petal:condition="user/list">
    <li petal:repeat="user user/list"
        petal:content="user/login">
        Dummy UserName
    </li>
  </ul>

  Petal prefers to process XML template files (that can be SVG, XHTML,
  VoiceXML, whatever) using XML::Parser, however for convenience HTML is
  also supported (using HTML::TreeBuilder).

------------->%---------------

You can get more info by reading the module documentation on CPAN [2]
and by browsing the mailing list archives [3].

Needless to say Petal is open-source, and placed under the Perl Artistic
License.

All the best,
