All: Just for the archives and anyone who might have been interested, I have found "The Way(tm)" that works for me. First, thanks to Darren Chamberlain, Nick Tonkin, and Perrin Harkins for the advice and comments - it was a huge help.
What wound up working out was using Template::Plugins to USE and immediately do something like obj.display() to push the content into the template. The site is working *exactly* as designed. The plugin interface is a huge help for things just like this project. Again, thanks to all and sorry for rehashing the same old issues... -- eric sammer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LinuxSTEP <http://www.linuxstep.org> InterfaceWM <http://interfacewm.sourceforge.net>
