I don't want some generic code that'd be used by all actions (well,
actually, I might want that *too*), I want to have Perl code specific
to each action. Using you approach I'd need to redirect to the
specific view in every request which is clumsy.

Others have suggested Mason, but I don't want Perl code *inside* my
templates. I want Perl code in my views, but I also want to have
separate templates.
