Yes, it is a Perl object.  A "template" is a bunch of text.  An HTML::Template
object is a Perl object ...

new()

Call new() to create a new Template object:

  my $template = HTML::Template->new( filename => 'file.tmpl',
                                      option => 'value'
                                    );
...
output()

output() returns the final result of the template. In most situations
you'll want to print this, like:

   print $template->output();
..
Calling output() is guaranteed not to change the state of the Template
object, in case you were wondering. This property is mostly important
for the internal implementation of loops.
