Since perl code is just text, there's no reason you couldn't use
TT to generate perl. You could even use TT to generate code that
gets executed immediately, something like:
use Template;
my $t = Template->new;
my $code;
$t->process(\q|sub foo { print "foo"; }|, {}, \$code)
or die $t->error;
eval $code;
die $@ if $@;
foo();
which works with perl 5.00503 and TT 2.0 (and also, I discovered
by accident, TT 1.07).
