Ok this is someone else who wrote his own itty bitty language before he knew about Text::Template

I just went through the perldoc on it and this would be great, it'd make my main part of one the programs much cleaner and the huge loop would go away..

except it's just not that simple for me. Basically what I have in my syntax is something like #PIC#, etc. However, where there is a #PIC#, I don't want just the same pic every where that #PIC# is placed, they have to be different ones. Text::Template can't help me specify different $pics would it? I couldn't find it in perldoc
what would be really cool if Text::Template could call a user defined function that would return what to replace it with.. or something like that. But alas, I can not find this functionality
