A refresher look at the TT manual yielded the following ideas:
Compile Time Constant Folding
http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/plain/Manual/Variables.html#Compile_Time_Constant_Folding
Should we be using this facility for things like VERSION and all the
stuff that's always included?
Autoformat/Wrap
http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/plain/Manual/Plugins.html#Autoformat
http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/plain/Manual/Plugins.html#Wrap
Should we be using either of these plugins instead of Text::Format?
Date
http://www.template-toolkit.org/docs/plain/Manual/Plugins.html#Date
Should we be using this for the date/time stuff? It delegates to POSIX
strftime.
GD
I plan to read up on the GD interfaces and maybe use them for reporting,
or the generic charting module :-)
