[htmltmpl] Nested HTML::Template Objects Suggestion

[Taylor B. <tba...@he...>]

Howdy,

I'm a new HTML::Template and didn't find anything about this in the 
docs, perhaps I overlooked it, but I'm pretty sure that the 
functionality isn't there. I'd like to be able to nest Template objects 
so it's a little easier to manage the dynamics of the templates used.

I wrote a quick module that would tie a HTML::Template object to my 
class and when it is FETCH'ed, it calls the output() method. This could 
be more easily done with the following alteration to HTML::Template:

#current lines 2608-2610
elsif ($type eq 'HTML::Template::VAR') {
     defined($$line) and $result .= $$line;
   }

#suggested change for line 2609
#this will check to see if the current line is a HTML::Template object

     if(defined $$line)    {
           $result .= (ref $$line eq __PACKAGE__) ? $$line->output(): 
$$line
            #UNIVERSAL::isa($$line,__PACKAGE__) could be used, too
     }


Is it possible to get this change in the next version of HTML::Template? :)
