[htmltmpl] using HTML::Template to generate static web pages

[Offer K. <of...@ne...>]

Hi,
I'm an HTML::Template newbie, and I was wondering whether the veterans
on this list could help me.

The documentation for HTML::Template talks about using it as a CGI
script, to generate the HTML code "on-the-fly".
However, I would like to use it as a regular Perl script, to generate
static HTML pages. I know this *can* be done, since I tried it on the
example provided in the documentation. But I'm wondering whether
HTML::Template is really suitable for this kind of use, or if I'm
"abusing" it.

Is there another module you could recommend as better suited for this
task?
I've looked at the Template-Toolkit, but it looks a little more complex
than HTML::Template, so before I choose it or another module over
HTML::Template I would appreciate some advice from veteran users.

Thanks in advance,
Offer Kaye
