I don't know if Template-Toolkit offers such an option (I assume you have searched for one already, and haven't found one), but it shouldn't be very hard to do it by yourself.

From the syntax exmples in the docs it seems you only have to parse 

[% PROCESS template var=val var=val ... %]
[% INCLUDE template var=val var=val ... %]

Since there's no tag nesting, it can be done with regexes.

A first ad-hoc attempt, not tested: 

my $re = qr{
   \[%-?        # start tag
   \s*
   (?:PROCESS|INCLUDE)
   \s+
   (\S+)        # template name
   .*?          # any parameters you're not interested in
   -?%\]        # end tag
}xs;

Try if it matches all you need, if not refine it.

And yes, that's only an ad-hoc solution, and wo't scale very well.

(Update: template name is probably \S+, \w+ is too restrictive)
