I've done a similar thing, albeit in a very different circumstance (having
"templates" within templates, that get sent with an ajax-form and populated by
a response from CGI::Ajax, sent back to the dom, and stuck in wherever they are
supposed to go). In this case, I need to keep the <TMPL_VAR WHATEVER>
information in that format, so when the template-chunk gets sent back to perl,
it can be seen as such, filled in as necessary, and returned as a populated
template. To accomplish this, I rewrite any and all tmpl_vars within a certain
div id, something like $div_html = s/<(\/?)TMPL_(.*?)\s*(.*?)> /__$1TMPL_$2
$3__/ig (turning < and > into __ ) and then rewrite this upon receiving the
template-chunk, before parsing it.
It works well enough, although it is a bit nasty introducing randomly-chosen
syntax...

I like that, I was experimenting with !TMPL_VAR but yours seems more
semantically appealing. (I'm practicing my impressive technical speak there...)

Nice! I'll try impress my wife with "Write-thru cache templating", maybe I'll
get lucky. =o)
