Hi, I just ran through the code and I do not believe there is a way to do this.
I think you will need to subclass Provider.pm, and redefine the _fetch routine.
You can probably just copy it over into your subclassed module, and then make
the modifications you need.
There are a few examples how you can subclass Provider.pm on the web:

http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:vBQNoGAjDa0J:www.grahamnet.org.uk/test/slash/Slash/Display/Provider/Provider.pm+%22use+base+qw(Template::Provider)%3B%22&hl=en
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05852.html
Here tells you how to use your subclassed Provider.pm I think.
http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/plain/Manual/Config.html
I believe it is the LOAD_TEMPLATES config option, although I could be entirely
wrong as I have not done this myself before.
Hopefully that helps you out. If anyone thinks what I've proposed is wrong,
feel free to yell. :) This is all based on a quick run-thru of the code.

Hi folks,
I would like to kind of pre-process the templates I pass to TT. However,
I want to keep all the nice caching features (disk+memory), so what I
would like to do is to first filter the file TT is processing through a
sub I wrote, but *only* when the file is changed on disk (which TT knows
and handles anyway). So I need something like:
sub process {
# ....
# do lots of magic
# ...
# if (template_changed_on_disk) $text = slurp ....
# ...
&my_filter_hack(\$text); # doing some multilingual preporcessing
# ...
# continue magic
# ...
}
Is there an easy way to do what's above? Preferably without subclassing
/ rewriting Template.pm :)
Thanks,
