Hi Jason,
I personally think this is a good idea, especially if it was provided by
a plugin (which means other TMPL_xxx's would also be possible).
In this case probably what you want is to use a TMPL_VAR which contains
the output of a seperate H::T instance, as in:
my $ht = new H::T(filename => "helloworld.tmpl");
my $helloworld = $ht->output();
$ht = new H::T(filename => "index.tmpl");
$ht->param("helloworld" => $helloworld);
$ht->output();
or something like that, ie: generate your virtual's before generating
your output.
