The Template Toolkit was derived in part from ideas and techniques developed in the Text::MetaText module. This itself was the public manifestation of an earlier template processing system I developed while working at Peritas Ltd. (http://www.knowledgepool.com/).
The Template Toolkit was developed more recently at Canon Research Centre Europe Ltd. as part of an ongoing research theme into Web-related publishing and content generation. Other tools are in development to compliment the Template Toolkit.
Many people have contributed ideas, inspiration, bug reports and fixes to Text::MetaText and the Template Toolkit, but none more so than Simon Matthews <sam@knowledegpool.com>. He deserves special mention (and wins many beer tokens) for his continued effort and interest over a number of years.
