It doesn't:


    print $q->header;
    $template->process($handler, $params)
	or do
	    {
		my $error = $template->error();
		$result->error($error->type(),
                               $error->info().
                               $error->text());
		$template->process('error.html', $params)
		    or die( "Fatal template error: ".
			    $template->error()."\n");
	    };


And $error turns out to be a string:

package "parse error: adminlist.html line 3-6: unexpected token (name)
