You're pretending to be dumb in order to make the point that Template
Toolkit can be used for things other than CGI.  This just makes you
look nasty and petty.  Of course he's writing a CGI script.  Why not
just answer his question and then make your point explicitly.

james, the answer to your question is that you want to use the CGI.pm
plugin for Template Toolkit, and a template something like:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[% USE CGI %]

<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body>

<h1>Test</h1>

<pre>
[% CGI.url %]
</pre>

</body>
</html>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
