Right out of docs:

$include_templates = {
	header	=> 'header.html',
	footer	=> 'footer.html'
}

$params = {
	var1		=> 'test',
	var2		=> 'another',
	includes	=> $include_templates
};

my $tt = Template->new( $CONFIG ) || warn($Template::ERROR);
$tt->process($template, $params) || return fail( $query, $tt->error() );


We're using dreamweaver and it allows as in include statement:

<!--#INCLUDE file="header.html"-->

which it automatically pulls into the workspace and displays the header in
the GUI tool.  We were hoping to use the same directive in TT so we could
develope the pages without having to do too much.  Wishful thinking perhaps?

Thanks for the help,
