I always use Template::Service objects, the process method of
which returns the data.
my $ts = Template::Config->service(\%params);
my $output = $ts->process($tmpl, $vars);
You can also pass a reference to a scalar as the third parameter
to Template::process, and it will put it into that variable. If
you pass a regular scalar, it assumes that it is a filename, which
is probably not what you want. Keep in mind that you can pass a
GLOB as the last variable (i.e., open filehandle).
