Actually, it really doesn't matter /where/ the Content Type is stored,
provided it's presented as part of the HTTP headers and not inline HTML. I
can see no reason by H::T must be tied solely to the generation of HTML, as
the whole "raison d'etre" of a templating system is that the output text is
separated from the code and stored in a template.
I could have a template along these lines and it could be perfectly
acceptable output from the corresponding CGI:
----cut--here--------cut--here--------cut--here----
Content-Type: text/html
<html>
<head><title>Hello, world</title></head>
<body><p>Hi everyone</p></body>
</html>
----cut--here--------cut--here--------cut--here----
#!/usr/bin/perl
use HTML::Template;
$n = HTML::Template->new(filename => "...");
print $n->output;
----cut--here--------cut--here--------cut--here----

You must always print the content type in the script whether you put it
in the template or not. The browser needs to know what content it is
reading _before_ it actually reads it. How else would it know whether
to render it as a html page, an image, or to load a plugin to display
it.
