Easily done.  Just use eval{} to catch the die() and check $@ to
examine any error:

    my $template;
    eval {
      $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'my.tmpl');
    };

    if ($@ and $@ =~ /file not found/) {
        print "my.tmpl not found!";
	exit; # or return as appropriate
    } elsif ($@) {
        die $@;
    }
