Some people do stuff like:

   my $header = HTML::Template->new(...);
   my $body   = HTML::Template->new(...);
   my $footer = HTML::Template->new(...);

   print $header->output, $body->output, $footer->output;

It's slower than just using tmpl_include.  I see it a lot so I thought
I'd mention it.

This is a little strange, but I doubt it's a performance problem.
Usually each of those would be an indepenent template with:

   <tmpl_include header.tmpl>
   ... content stuff ...
   <tmpl_include footer.tmpl>

But I might be biased by using CGI::Application, which makes it really
easy for each run-mode (login_menu would be a CGI::App run-mode) to
have it's own template.
