Yup, that's by design. Think about it for a moment and you'll realize
that's the only sane option. HTML::Template is totally content-neutral -
it might be generating HTML, which doesn't care much about space, or it
might be generating text into a <pre> block where trying to get cute with
newlines would ruin the whole layout.

Two options:
- Don't put them in in the first place. It will make your templates
ugly but your output will be prettier.
- Use an HTML compressor on the output of HTML::Template. There are
many to choose from and they'll treat all the extraneous space in your
document, not just the stuff around template tags.
