In a nutshell:
What is the best way to call and pass parameters to an Apache::Template from a Registry handler?

I'm using Apache::Template (TT2) as the templating system but there's are a few parts done as A::Registry scripts. These do perly processing and use the same tt2 templates as the interface. I could run the templates myself but would prefer to go via A::T so the configuration is all in the httpd.conf.

That seems to leave the following options:

I'm currently using the second way which seems to work fine. (see code snippets below).

Is there anything I should look out for? Is there a better way I haven't come across? 

sub try_again {
    my ($r,$msg) = @_;
    $r->pnotes(user_form_err => $msg);
    my $subr = $r->lookup_uri('/register.thtml');
    $r->filename($subr->filename); 
    return Apache::Template::handler($r);
}
sub my_handler {
    ...
    something() or return try_again($r, $msg);
    ...
}
