in reply to Multiple template coordination using HTML::Template

I would strongly consider looking into Style Sheets for this kind of problem: 
# sample template
<html>
<head>
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="<tmpl_var name=css>" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>

<!-- stuff -->

</body>
</html>

Now all you need to do in your CGI script is figure which style sheet to use.
