I just read the blog post - I like it!  Very cool.  Anybody using Template::Refine in a Cat app?  I don't see a specific C::V::Template::Refine, but it seems like you could possibly use C::V::Template::Declare for it (or maybe I've misunderstood that module).

I misunderstood what Jonathan said earlier when he said

I wasn't thinking of 'designers' as 'web designers' in this context - I was thinking of the TT or Mason module designers for some reason, silly me.  I serve both roles on my app, so coding Mason templates is not really an issue for me.

Anyway, I get it now :)

Thanks
Byron
