Oh, that's a pretty straightforward (though completely undocumented) one:
use Template::Provider;
my $tp = Template::Provider->new(INCLUDE_PATH => [ 'here', 'there' ]);
my $d = $tp->fetch("filename");
$d is a Template::Document, which has a nifty AUTOLOAD -- you can call
methods based on the name of the META variable. So, with this template:
[% META foo = 'bar' %]
...
You can call:
my $foo = $d->foo();
and get 'bar'.
