The Phrasebook Pattern
http://ootips.org/yonat/patterns/phrasebook.html
Not unlike templates for (X)HTML? "The Phrasebook pattern is a technique to separate expressions in one language (e.g., SQL) from the main code that is written in another programming language (e.g., Perl). This is done by keeping the expressions in a separate file – the phrasebook. Any specific expression is generated by finding the appropriate entry in the phrasebook and substituting application parameters into it. This separation makes maintenance easier both for the main application code and for the foreign language code."
Mojo Web Framework
http://mojolicious.org
"Back in the early days of the web there was this wonderful Perl library called CGI.pm , many people only learned Perl because of it. It was simple enough to get started without knowing much about the language and powerful enough to keep you going, learning by doing was much fun. While most of the techniques used are outdated now, the idea behind it is not. Mojo is a new attempt at implementing this idea using state of the art technology. "
