I had the idea to write vlibTemplate when I started to use PHP on a project after creating websites in Perl using the HTML::Template module available in the CPAN package. This module was my inspiration, and although vlibTemplate has been completely written from the ground up for PHP, it's tag syntax is extremely similar to that of HTML::Template.

In fact if you have templates written for HTML::Template, you will be able to write PHP code to use that template. If you're porting from vlibTemplate to HTML::Template, there are certain things in the template which will not work as slightly more features have been added to the tags than the perl module handles.

Anyway, many thanks to them for the inspiration. See http://www.cpan.org.
