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, fixes and features to both Text::MetaText and the Template Toolkit and they all deserve credit for having improved the end product in some way and their efforts continue to be very much appreciated. In particular, Simon Matthews <sam@knowledegpool.com>, aka "SAM", deserves special mention (and wins many beer tokens) for his continued effort and interest over a number of years. Please let me know if you think anyone is missing from this list.
