You could create a function if you were using HTML::Template::Expr or 
you could subclass HTML::Template and change param to first filter the 
unicode chars for you. Then pass it off to the base class to do the 
rest. Would be an extremely simple subclass.

No, please don't do that. Don't run with a patched version unless 
absolutely necessary. Instead go with a subclass.
