That's a good question.  I initially tried making a Petal subclass that
didn't need a filename, but I got foiled by all the file caching stuff.

Since we can make strings look like filehandles, would a filehandle work
just as well?

As for a cache key, maybe you could use "SCALAR(0x813cd9c)" or whatever
the stringified version of the scalarref's address is?  It would mean
that to change the template you'd have to pass in a new string, not just
change the existing buffer.
