I'm not sure this is a perfect solution, but you could just eval that bit of code, and print the results. This would interpolate the variables, which would give you empty spots (ie where you have value="$markup"). So perhaps you would want to escape the sigils before you eval the code, then all you need do is throw in a $display = <<EOHTML arround it and you're done.

Although while you're there, why not replace all the interpolations with [% $template_engine_name %] tags right off the bat, and then you won't have to come back and re-visit it when you come to roll out your template version.

The more of the code you delete now, the less you have to come back and delete later, right?
