I might be off target here, but I've started using the template toolkit 
(TT)  in my first ever mod_perl "site", and while I'm sure I'm not 
following any "right" way to do things, I like the way it works with TT 
for the presentation.

When I fiddled with php, there was a lot of talk about various 
templating systems Smarty etc, but I never tried them, mostly becuase I 
fell into having code and HTML all in the one file/program.

Anyway, I might be way off with what you are after, but for 
presentation, that's what I use and it works for me, since I can do all 
the logic and then call in the template to send it to.
