In my case,  I pull a id from a database and then load the template with 
that id.  For instance, I'll pull id 5 and the template will be named 
5.tmpl.  There is no ability with filters to pass that id to the filter 
function.  So in my case, I'd have to create another CGI object grab 
relevents paramaters, load the DBI object reconnect to the database,  
and query the database for the id.  Filters just won't work well for 
what I'm trying to do.  Especially if there are a number of includes, 
the above process could be run 4-5 times.  It would be extremely slow.
