We have a project in which we receive invoices from many vendors.

We will parse a series of fields from each invoice & save them to a
database.

Assuming:

[1] Every vendor's invoices will differ significantly by vendor.

[2] All invoices for a given vendor will have a high degree of
similarity.

[3] The hash of fields to be parsed is common to all invoices from all
vendors.


It seems reasonable that we could develop a "template" system; whereby,
given a vendor ID, one template can facilitate parsing all invoices for
that vendor.

I have seen several Perl "template" modules, mostly for web
applications.

Which Perl modules ought we to consider for our project, in lieu of
reinventing the wheel?

What do you think?
