Well, my applications are not web based at all, so mod_perl is not an option
in this case.
Though I still don't see why should pick mod_perl over PersistentPerl, if I
were to build a web-app? I have used HTML::Template for, well, HTML templates;
though it is not exactly pretty, it works as intended. (Smarty templates
for PHP appear to be much better, but I don't like PHP.)

Hm. Depends on what you call small, I guess. I swear I will never put
HTML in code (or vice versa) again. Not in PHP nor Perl.
Maybe this will be over when I switch to Python. Eventually ...
