Perl: Alternatives to template toolkit

Question

I have been using template toolkit for extending an existing domain specific language(verilog) for over 3 years now. While overall I am happy with it, the major irritant is that

Mojolicious comes with its own templating system Mojo::Template. Its lightweight and can be used even outside of the mojolicious system. Here is an example from the docs:

use Mojo::Template;
  my $mt = Mojo::Template->new;

  # Simple
  my $output = $mt->render(<<'EOF');
  % use Time::Piece;
  
  
    
    % my $now = localtime;
    Time: <%= $now->hms %>
  
  EOF
  say $output;

and another

  # More advanced
  my $output = $mt->render(<<'EOF', 23, 'foo bar');
  % my ($number, $text) = @_;
  %= 5 * 5
  
  
    
    
      test 123
      foo <% my $i = $number + 2; %>
      % for (1 .. 23) {
      * some text <%= $i++ %>
      % }
    
  
  EOF
  say $output;
