(First off, let me say that I'm a long time H::T user, occasional TT dabbler. I love what you've done with the place, samtregar.)

You can associate, but you have two problems, neither of which are solvable with the H::T syntax.

  1. You are going to litter your templates with a huge number of <TMPL_IF CONFIG_FOO_1> type statements.
  2. If you associate more than two objects, collisions are a very real possibility, especially if you associate your $cgi and $config objects at the same time.

The alternative that TT provides is a method-like invocation on your objects. Plus, you have run-time includes, which H::T (AFAIK) does not support. This is much easier to work with.
