istr if you give it a scalar reference, as the 3rd parameter, then it puts
it in there.

Hang on, isn't there an actual Template Toolkit mailing list.

mmm, this should be a FAQ...

perldoc Template:

   By default, the processed template output is printed to
   STDOUT.  The process() method then returns 1 to indicate
   success.  A third parameter may be passed to the process()
   method to specify a different output location.  This value
   may be one of: a plain string indicating a filename which
   will be opened (relative to OUTPUT_PATH, if defined) and
   the output written to; a file GLOB opened ready for
   output; a reference to a scalar (e.g. a text string) to
   which output/error is appended; a reference to a
   subroutine which is called, passing the output as a
   parameter; or any object reference which implements a
   'print' method (e.g. IO::Handle, Apache::Request, etc.)
   which will be called, passing the generated output as a
   parameter.

If you note, the third paramater can be a ref to a scalar to which the
output is appended.

Check http://www.tt2.org/info.html#lists for details.

And it's not that you're not wanted :-) it's more that you're likely 
to get more authorative answers there.

$tt-process($template,$variables,\$outvar);

$outvar will contain the output.
