You mean "XML valid" right?  HTML::Template has nothing to do with XML
so of course it's not valid XML!

You can do it yourself with a filter.  Something like (untested):

  sub allow_trailing_slash {
     my $text = shift;
     $$text =~ m!(<tmpl_[^>]*)/>!$1>!g;
  }

  $t = HTML::Template->new(filter => \&allow_trailing_slash, ...);
