SPUG: modules for building strings top down

[Andrew Sweger]

CGI::FastTemplate perhaps? I specify it in some designs so as to
completely segregate perl code from the HTML (or other text). If done
properly, the connection between the perl code and text is controlled by a
configuration file. You can also use CGI::FastTemplate to procedurally
construct a byte stream from a top-down structure approach.
