I am using HTML::Template in a webapp where I have a single template with a set of style sheets that gives the entire site its look and feel. I have form generation and validation code based on CGI::FormBuilder for some 200 forms with corresponding templates for each form.

What I would like to do is be able to have the <TMPL_INCLUDE 'filename.tmpl'> be controllable so that I can specify which template is to be included in the content <div> before the template is passed to CGI::FormBuilder.

Thinking about the problem I could:

1. Use another templating system to put the include name into the page template.
2. Leave the INCLUDE name the same, but rename the form template before the template is passed (or maybe copy it and then it is over-written when the next template is built)

But neither of these methods is safe in the mod_perl context. So I could:

Create a template to feed through CGI::FormBuilder from which I could parse out the JavaScript destined for the head, and the body material and feed them back into the Page Template.

I feel I am getting a little over my head here. If need be I can create a special module to handle this, but I am not sure how it would be best to go about it.
