Yes, though what I do is:

my $fn=$0;
$fn =~ /\/([^\/]*?)\.cgi$/;
$fn="$1.tmpl";
&set_env;
my $tmpl=HTML::Template->new(filename => $fn,
                             die_on_bad_params => 0);

where &set_env sets the HTML_TEMPLATE_ROOT. The directory structure is:

cgi-bin/
 a.cgi
 b.cgi
 etc.
templates/
 a.tmpl
 b.tmpl
 etc.
