The Template Toolkit lets you make calls into objects, no problem.

Just like the Template Toolkit...

Have you looked at embperl?  The latest version allows you to map
the filesystem/URL path to a hierarchy of objects so you can
create a top level default and only override the parts you
want to change as you go down to different sections - without
changes in the page itself.

My experience with Zope is that it's not as simple as it might initially
look and you have to write Python code to do anything useful.  However,
there are some Perl projects with a similar goal.  You might look at
http://wirm.org/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/iaido/.
