My eyes!  They burn!  AArrrrgh.

Serriously, that's a terribly idea.  Why are you using HTML::Template
if you want to drive your program from the template?  There are many
systems better suited to this use: Mason, Template Toolkit, Embperl,
etc.  HTML::Template was designed to support a one-way data-flow from
Perl code to HTML template.
