(just to recap) If you already know the key, you can use it directly too with [% thing.hashkey %]

like this: 

use Template;
my $data = {
   user => {
        nick => f00li5h,
        home => '/home/f00li5h',
        bio  => '/home/f00li5h/.plan',
    },
   page_title => 'user profile'
};

my $template = q{
<html><head><title>[% page_title || 'lovely' %]</title></head>
<body>
about user [% user.nick %]
<hr>
  likes to spend lots of time in or arround [% user.home %]
  you can read more about [% user.nick %] at [% user.bio %]
</body>
</html>
};
my $TT = Template->new();
$TT->process(\$template , $data );

which gives you something a little like this: 

<html><head><title>user profile</title></head>
<body>
about user f00li5h
<hr>
  likes to spend lots of time in or arround /home/f00li5h
  you can read more about f00li5h at /home/f00li5h/.plan
</body>
</html>
