It's still maintained, although I'm too busy to spend a lot of time on
it right now.  Maybe next year...

Hmmm, alright, let's see.

Ok, that won't work.  The cache is going to hand you back two
references to the same object.  Try this instead:

   use Storable qw(dclone);
   my $rTmpl1 = HTML::Template->new(filename => $htmlTemplate, cache => 1);
   my $rTmpl2 = dclone($rTmpl2);

Or, possibly faster:

   use Clone qw(clone);
   my $rTmpl1 = HTML::Template->new(filename => $htmlTemplate, cache => 1);
   my $rTmpl2 = clone($rTmpl2);
