I wonder if this may help you. If I undertsnad it right your want the same hash available for every template only building the hash once whenever you update it? Ok assuming that, why not put the hash in a separate file: hash.lib: %hash = (..); 1; In your templat eprocessing script : require 'hash.lib'; Then just add %hash to your list of goodies to process and viola! You only have the hash in one place instead of building it every time and if you want to update it you can update the lib file and you're set! Not sure if that's what you're looking for but HTH.
