I was avoiding chiming in earlier but I use Apache2 and thus don't
get to play with Apache::Template. I currently run about 20+ CGIs
with TT and CGI as part of a lightweight internal business portal.

Doing [% USE cgi %] in a header template for a URL bought me a long
day of confusion where half my CGIs worked and half didn't...=20
including one that worked intermittantly. Luckily I spotted that all
the GET style calls were working and that the POST ones were=20
complaining that they had no data.

So if you give advice based on your experience with A::T, be sure you
are talking to someone who is using it. :) (One of these days, I'm
going to get a lightweight A::T replacement for Apache2 working.)=20

Thanks for all the code and help, Andy!
