There shouldn't be any affect on performance. The reason it is off by default is that it breaks down the separation of concerns. If you just want to load some modules, you can probably use the Class plugin. http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Template::Plugin::Class For something more complex than that, you should create the objects in your calling Perl and pass them into the template. _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [email protected] http://mail.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
