Good advice, but there's one possibility you missed. If a module uses Inline::C then it won't be pure Perl, even if it has no C source files.
Another thing to check for is the dependancies of a module. The module itself may be pure perl, but it may depend on a module that is not.
As far as I can remember, HTML::Template only depends on modules that are included in a standard perl installation, so it does not require the installation of any extra modules (that excludes the caching modules like, IPC::SharedCache[1], but they are all optional).

[1] IPC::SharedCache depends on IPC::ShareLite which is an XS module
