This worked Great!  Thank you!

Next question:

I know I can put a filter into some area that a filter provider can
see, but is there any way to mock up a filter definition using
[%PERL%] within the same template?  I tried to work my way through
both the docs and the code, but it seems like I'm swimming upstream.

I know, Mason spoiled me, making it far to easy to put some little
Perlish hack in the middle of a text file.  And the "right thing" is
to put it out into a module that can be shared.  But can I just stuff
$context->stash() with some coderef somehow?

Thanks...  I'm much closer today than I was last week to moving
stonehenge.com to TT2.
