Simon Matthews <sam@knowledgepool.com> has developed a DBI plugin for the Template Toolkit which brings the full power of Tim Bunce's <Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk> database interface module (DBI) to your templates. The DBI plugin and the DBI modules themselves are available from CPAN at:
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SA/SAM/ http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/DBI/
Leslie Michael Orchard <deus_x@ninjacode.com> is developing Iaijutsu, a fully featured web application server and content management system which uses the Template Toolkit for processing content templates. For further information, see:

Horst Dumcke <hdumcke@cisco.com> is working on Istore (Information Storage and Retrieval), a Perl module which separates content, directory structure and presentation. The 'presentation' part is provided in part by the Template Toolkit. See

Paul Sharpe <paul@miraclefish.com> is the author of DBFramework, a collection of classes for manipulating DBI databases loosely based on the CDIF Data Model Subject Area. He's currently in the process of reworking it to use the Template Toolkit as the presentation layer. The module is available from CPAN in
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/DbFramework/
The XML::RSS plugin is a simple interface to Jonathan Eisenzopf's <eisen@pobox.com> XML::RSS module. An RSS (Rich Site Summary) file is typically used to store short news 'headlines' describing different links within a site. This plugin allows you to parse RSS files and format the contents accordingly using templates. The XML::RSS module and plugin are available from CPAN:
