Exists in the Perl world any template system with template inheritance?
Just checked in the wikipedia Comparison_of_web_template_engines (really incomplete list) - and here isn't listed any.
Inheritance = Supports the ability to inherit a layout from a parent template, separately overriding arbitrary sections of the parent template's content.
Mean something like python's Jinja2:
#body.html
<body>
{% block content %}
<!-- the content go here -->
{% endblock %}
</body>
#hi.html
{% extends "body.html" %}
{% block content %}
<h1>Hi!</h1>
{% endblock %}
rendering hi.html gives
<body>
<h1>Hi!</h1>
</body>
Don't looking for exact Jinja2 syntax, simply looking for any template engine from the perl world what supports inheritance. (not only plain includes - like Template::Toolkit)
Asking here because searching CPAN is a pain for words like "template inheritance" - shows thousands modules what not related to this question.
Ps: ... and it shouldn't be something like embedded perl - should be "user editable" allowing users builds own templates without compromise a whole system - therefore can't use Mason or HTML::Mason)

I'll second the suggestion for Text::Xslate. Its syntax is even quite similar to your Jinja2 examples:
In layouts/main.tx:
...
<div id="page">
: block sidebar -> { }
<div id="content">
: block header-> { <h1>Default Title</h1> }
: block content -> { }
</div>
</div>
...
In another template:
: cascade layouts::main
: override header -> {
<div id="header">
...
</div>
: }
: override content -> {
<div id="content-body">
...
</div>
: }
A colleague recently started using Text::Xslate.
