This seems like a reasonable thing to want, but I think it would be
better done with a wrapper object. Imagine:
use HTML::Template;
use Class::ParamWrapper;
my $t = HTML::Template->new(filename => $foo,
associate =>
Class::ParamWrapper->new($some_object));
Class::ParamWrapper would provide a param() method which proxies calls
to the wrapped object. You can add any configuration you need to the
Class::ParamWrapper->new() call.
This has the benefit of not increasing the complexity of
HTML::Template's associate implementation which is already pretty
unmanageable. It also opens up your code to use in other contexts.
