Some of you may be interested in my notes I wrote up about
HTML::Template::Compiled's compatibility with HTML::Template:

Re: [htmltmpl] HTML::Template::Compiled compatibility analyzed

[Octavian R. <ora...@fc...>]

I have tried HTML::Template::Compiled and I found a bug in it some time ago.
I have asked about it on some mailing lists, but with no helpful answer, so
I have decided to use HTML::Template.

I was also impressed by the speed of HTML::Template::Compiled and by that
feature of accessing global vars using the dot notation.

But the problem was that HTML::Template::Compiled use to keep the data in
memory, and show it to the next page visitor.

I have tried to undef the vars all over the places but with no results.
After I have changed HTML::Template::Compiled with HTML::Template, all the
issues disappeared.

Tina Mueller, the author of HTML::Template::Compiled wrote on a mod_perl
mailing list that HTML::Template::Compiled is not production ready and that
her module might have some "copy-on-write" issues and that it needs more
tests...

Thanks for the feedback Octavian. If you remember enough details, please
submit a bug report about it:

I agree it needs some refinement. For example, I would like for methods and
hashrefs both use the dot notation, like TT. 

I'm using HTML::Template today, and am interesting to contributing to
make it production-worthy in the future.  

Tina has given me CVS commit access to help that make that happen.

If others are interested to improve it, I think Tina will be receptive
based on own experience.
