Sounds as if you've come to the right place, then...

I'm going to be really helpful here... "it depends". There are always
multiple ways to do things in Perl, and the best choice will vary. Having
said that, I'd probably do something like:
(in the CGI program)
(set $state by whatever means you usually do)
$tmpl->param("state.$state" => 1);
(in the template)
(common code)
<TMPL_IF NAME=state.1>
(stuff unique to state 1)
</TMPL_IF>
<TMPL_IF NAME=state.2>
(stuff unique to state 2)
</TMPL_IF>
(and so on)
As a general rule, it's less trouble and more flexible to use a single
H::T object.
