DreamT has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,
Usually, when using a TT file in another TT file, the syntax could look as follows: 
[% PROCESS 'my_included_file.tt' %]

[download]

But, let's say that the included file isn't a physical file, but is stored in a variable: 
[% SET template = fetch_template('my_parameter') %]

[download]

Is it possible to PROCESS that variable and get the same result as if this was a physical file? 
[% PROCESS template???? %]

    Do you mean the template text is stored in a variable, not a filename ? Something like this using BLOCKS

    #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Template;

my $tt = Template->new({
  BLOCKS => {
    tvar  => 'Text is [% text %]',
  },
});
 
my $vars = { text => 'Some text' };
$tt->process(\*DATA, $vars);

__DATA__
[% INCLUDE tvar %]

    I think you want the eval filter by the sounds of it.
