You need to use the CONSTANTS option: http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/plain/Manual/Variables.html#Compile_Time_Constant_Folding Ok... so that is good and after reading the internals again I have one more question... if I need to only instantiate 1 instance of Template ( so long as options passed to the constructor don't change ). then it would make sense for me to create the instance as a singleton. using say Apache::Singleton::Process yes?
