TT allows you to edit values in a template, so I don't think that should
be a problem.

See http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/plain/Manual/Variables.html for
details.

I must agree with Andrew and Tony, and encourage you to use Class::DBI.
It is a remarkable time and code saver, getting much drudgery out of the
way quickly. Also if you have a problem installing it, that you think is
not your fault, let the author know. Authors love feedback, as the
recent discussion on the london.pm list shows!

bye for now
