Did you look at Apache::Template and Template-Toolkit?  The work in
that area has really become a PHP killer for me.  If you did, and still
have the opinion you have, I'd be curious.

I agree with your general observation: Raw Perl for people who could
or want to code in PHP is probably the wrong solution.

But the combination of Perl for the heavy lifting, and the
TT2-minilanguage for the "designers" and casual use, is a very
hard-to-beat combo, in my observation.
