I better take this question all the way to the end. After reading the comments I've decided to try the Template::Alloy module. I am using CGI::Applications load_tmpl function to load my templates with HTML::Template. Here is an example of a basic function with the call to load_tmpl: 

sub showMemberStart {
# application object
my $self = shift;

# get cgi query object
my $q = $self->query();
my %post = $q->Vars;
        
# get session object        
my $session = $self->session;            

# database handle
my $dbh = $self->param('dbh');
  
# load template files
my $tmpl = $self->param('member_start' => $self->load_tmpl('member_sta
+rt.phtml', die_on_bad_params => 0));
  
# output
return $tmpl->output;
}

How would I go about implementing Template::Alloy into this code? I rather not change the following rows: 

# load template files
my $tmpl = $self->param('member_start' => $self->load_tmpl('member_sta
+rt.phtml', die_on_bad_params => 0));

Should I override the load_tmpl function? Anybody have an idea how this would be done?
