+>> Yes, my apologies for that.  The two worker functions `mktmpl_hash`
+and `proc_tmpl_hash` are new.  The `preprocess` function then starts
+by arranging the parameters into an array.  This array is passed to the
+`mktmpl_hash` and it creates a hash, suitable for passing into the
+HTML::Template directly.  The `proc_tmpl_hash` then walks the hash
+structure and processes the parameters.

 and, although nested loops *might* be possible (with a little
 more tinkering) it think any attempt would be better served by
