[Templates] greetings!!!

[Tom Allison]

Brand new to the list and am trying to get some fundamental questions 
sorted out about some best practices on how to use Templates.

First: are there any other sources of examples or tips out there? 
Slashcode is like putting your 16 year old in your Ferrari for his first 
night out...

Second:  The website speaks of an Apache::Template for mod_perl but 
implies it's still 'expiremental'.  Considering that slashcode is 
written with this (I think) is this still true?
