Re: [cgiapp] load_tmpl() question.

[Jaclyn Whitehorn]

I hate to be picky, but if we're all overriding it anyway, then why 
shouldn't it just stay the way it is?  Having it give a simple default 
for people who are just starting seems reasonable.  (Although I can see 
why people who don't use H::T might want to remove the dependency.)  
When I started learning CGI::Application, I hadn't picked a templating 
system yet and that would have just been one more thing to decide and 
learn.

And for a fun addition ... Why did I override load_tmpl?
- I use HTML::Template::Expr instead
- I split my templates into header, footer, and content, so I needed to 
use a filehandle

I then created a separate display() method that loads the template, 
makes sure that my session ID and a few other global variables are in 
it, and returns the output of the template.  So when I have a runmode 
that ends by showing a page using the content template 'options.tmpl', 
I just return $self->display('options').
