[Templates] TT Speed Question

[David Dick]

how about this?

my ($template) = Template->new({ 
                         INCLUDE_PATH => [ sub { return ( [
'/path/to/include' ] ); } ],
                               });

Hopefully i included enuff brackets there.  The include path can handle
an anonymous array of subs, which must return a reference to an array. 

http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/plain/Manual/Config.html mentions
it in the section about the INCLUDE directive
