Re: accessing template variables in perl code

You could wrap your function in a closure over the name of the template 
at the time you call process:

my $template = 'template/name';

$tt->process($template, { get_func => sub { get_params($template) } });

Er, then again couldn't you just retrieve your data before you call process?
