Yes. If you use the PROCESS option (or 'process' in .ttreerc) then
TT stores a reference to the regular template in the 'template' variable
and processes your PROCESS template instead.
my $tt = Template->new( PROCESS => 'page' );
In the simple case your 'page' template can look like this:
<html>
blah blah
[% PROCESS $template %]
blah blah
</html>
But often it's better to do 'page' like this:
[% WRAPPER layout;
PROCESS $template;
END
%]
and have 'layout' look like this:
<html>
blah blah
[% content %]
blah blah
</html>
That way, you can also use the same 'layout' to create pages on the fly:
[% FILTER redirect('some/other/page.html') %]
[% WRAPPER layout %]
Blah blah blah
[% END %]
[% END %]
Or, for a full-on gnarly example:
[% INCLUDE user/info
WRAPPER layout title="$user.name homepage"
FILTER redirect("user/$user.id/info.html")
FOREACH user = userlist
%]
