Well, I was having problems getting it to work in general.

I got a bit further yesterday night and ended up with this template manifest.json-file which now takes care of requirements 1 and 2:

{
  "renderer": "TestRenderer",
  "header": [
    { "Subject": "MIME e-mail test" },
    { "From":    "John Doe <john@doe.com.au>" },
    { "To":      "Jane Doe <jane@doe.com.au>" }
  ],
  "alternatives": [
    {
      "attributes": {
        "content_type": "text/html",
        "charset": "utf-8"
      },
      "body": "HTML goes <h3>HERE</h3><br>You can also use variables, 
+like this:<br>E.g. the variable friend = '[% friend %]' and gets rend
+ered when the email object is created."
    }
  ],
  "attachments": [
    {
      "type": "application/pdf",
      "path": "bogus-report.pdf",
      "attributes": { "filename": "report.pdf" }
    }
  ]
}

I still don't know how to load a scalar/hash when creating the "kit". This is how that part of the code is looking right now:

  my $kit = Email::MIME::Kit->new({
    source => './dir/where/template/file/is',
    manifest_reader => 'JSON',
  });

  my $email = $kit->assemble({
    friend => 'xMonk',
  });
