Depends how abstract you want to look at things, many things are an 
object in the right context :)

I see how you are visualising it now. I should probably have a looked at 
the implementation before posting that last message. I've now seen the 
HTML::Template::LOOP class, etc. I think for anyone who's just used the 
module and hasn't gone though it's internal code, it's clearer to talk 
about it in the sense of variable scoping; as the loops are easily 
interpreted as Perl blocks.

Thanks for clearing up the confusion :)
