Sam,

	Nope. I found the recipe and will try to incorporate that later this week.

	Not sure what you mean. Here is my object creation line, which is 
inside sub handler() ($template is a global var):

$template = new HTML::Template(
      filename => 'background.tpl',
      path => [ '/home/omnovia/public_html/pages/sctest/templates/' ],
      die_on_bad_params => 0,
      cache => 1
);

background.tpl contains this:

<TMPL_VAR NAME="HEADER">

   <TMPL_IF NAME="MESSAGEDIE">
     <TMPL_INCLUDE NAME="messagedie.tpl">
   <TMPL_ELSE>

     <TMPL_IF NAME="LOGIN_MENU">
       <TMPL_INCLUDE NAME="login_menu.tpl">
     </TMPL_IF>

     <TMPL_IF NAME="LOGIN_PAGE">
       <TMPL_INCLUDE NAME="login_page.tpl">
     </TMPL_IF>

     <TMPL_IF NAME="STRUCTURE_PAGE">
       <TMPL_INCLUDE NAME="structure.tpl">
     </TMPL_IF>

   </TMPL_IF>

<TMPL_VAR NAME="FOOTER">

in my code, if I need to display a certain sub-page, I just set one of 
the IF's above to 1 and parse the variables.  Is this the wrong way of 
doing this?

Thanks,
Matthew
