Text::Template is a module for doing dynamic content generation in Perl. You can embed any Perl code into a file, and then make a call to the module to `fill in' the blanks in the file. This is good for generating HTML pages and form letters. It was first released in 1995 and is very stable, very fast, and very reliable. It is also integrated with Perl's Safe module in case you don't trust the template author.

It is easy to write small scripts that can do editing in 'batch mode', a necessary thing when updating many hosts at the same time. There is a simple program, update-cfe, that can be used in shell scripts (sometimes update-cfe is enough to update a section in a file).
