Template::alloy represents the mixing of features and capabilities from all of the major mini-language based template systems (support for non-mini-language based systems will happen eventually). with template::alloy you can use your favorite template interface and syntax and get features from each of the other major template systems. and template::alloy is fast - whether your using mod_perl, cgi, or running from the commandline. there is even template::alloy::xs for getting a little more speed when that is necessary.

according to wikipedia, "an alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more elements".
