Been there, done that.
In http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/LinuxMag/col38.html I describe how my entire website is built from files using Template Toolkit and make.

Re: Been there, done that.
Interesting. In this case, gen.pl uses HTML::Seamstress to do its job, not TT; the templating I need is very simple and exclusively on HTML files, so it's more convenient that way. (The script just parses information like the page title out of comments in the page and tells Seamstress where to put it all.)
