I don't understand why you think the only two choices are "the way it is"
and "package globals". What's wrong with using a lexical in the closure?
my %vars = (fred => 1, barney => 3);
my $tt = Template->new( ... );
...
$tt->process($template, \%vars,
sub { my $o = shift; ... $tt ...; ... $vars{fred} ... ; }
);
Look ma, no package vars. Just lexicals.
