Working with recent versions of bugzilla, I took a look at Template.
It's kind of interesting.. =20

Internally, there are similarities to PSP:  there is a "template" source
directory, and a template build directory containing intermediate files.
The intermediate files each contain a hash defining an automatically
generated anonymous subroutine that is called when the template is
referenced and various other fields.

It doesn't seem like you can call subroutines from within the rendering
process.  It looks like you do your logic and set some fields in some
global variables.  Then finally, the logic calls $template->process(),
which I suppose expands nested template references and writes to stdout,
substituting the static values into your page, and providing a handful
of condition and looping constructs.
