I actually use Text::Template for all my templating (sigh), and have such a
wrapper (save just a bit of custom code). I basically implement the HASH
version and use a PerlInitHandler to set up the substitutions using pnotes.
I can work it up into a more generic release if anyone is interested, but
using Text::Template is really incredibly simple and it's just a few lines
of code (and actually twice as long as it needs to be due to copious
debugging), so I really don't think a release is warranted.
In reality, I feel guilty every time I use it for not migrating to
TemplateToolkit or one of the other systems available.
