Why do you think the HTML::Template caching options are geared towards 
CGI users? It's actually the opposite. All of the caching modes work 
just fine under mod_perl. You just need to pick whether you want normal 
cache (per-process memory), shared_cache (shared memory), double_cache 
(mix of normal cache and shared_cache) or file_cache (no extra memory 
uses the filesystem so slower).

In fact, if you using normal CGI you can only use shared_cache or 
file_cache.
