You can easily install in your user perl library, and it works great! Mojo Templates are installed on both the SDF cluster and on the metaarray, and CGI::Tiny works with (safe) templates to prevent XSS, plus [[https://metacpan.org/dist/CGI-Tiny/view/lib/CGI/Tiny/Cookbook.pod#Templating | it works with other template engines]] which the docs have examples for. | * Use //CGI::Tiny//, a non-framework modern replacement for standalone perl CGI: [[https://metacpan.org/pod/CGI::Alternatives#BUT-I-DON'T-WANT-TO-USE-A-FRAMEWORK | Perl CGI But I Don't Want to Use a Framework]].
