Well, I did personally create the abortion know as HTML::Template::Expr, but this is really beyond the pale. I love how the example is presented in a HERE doc! Hey, why put it in a separate file at all!

    It's the same old pattern in a different light. Ingy had a hack to interpret dynamically generated Perl code from within cpr.
