Indeeed it does. So is dbh really a tied hashref?

Yeah, it's on, but I want to minimize the amount of embedded perl,
especially since I want these templates to be as friendly as possible
for my non-programmer page designers.

Normally we try to avoid doing too much low-level database interaction
at the template level, but we've found that TT is great for fast
prototyping of new features and direct access to dbi is very handy. I
definitely want to avoid using this in production as much as possible.
