[oak perl] template toolkit recommendations?

[Bob goolsby]

Take a look at the modules in the Config:: space.  As I recall,
Config::Tiny is designed to handle key=value init files.  That might
be a bit easier than trying co coerce TT into doing what you want. 
That said, the Badger book is a most useful resource on things
Template-ish.
