I wrote HTML::Template::Dumper to do basically the same thing.  It is 
designed to use a verity of dumping formats (Data::Dumper, YAML, 
whatever).  You need to make some minimal modifications to the program 
(replace "use HTML::Template" with "use HTML::Template::Dumper" and set an 
output format) to run the tests--these should be significantly less than 
modifications to reinvent what HTML::Template::Dumper already does.
