You can have a method in your CGI::Application class that calls 
load_tmpl
with the appropriate parameters.
You then call this method instead of load_tmpl.
You could even give it the same name "load_tmpl" to avoid having to 
change
existing code but I find this confusing.

I always have a prepare_tmpl that looks like this:


sub prepare_tmpl{
	my ($self, $name, @extras) = @_;
	
	my $cache = 'cache';
	$cache = 'shared_cache' if $IPC::SharedCache::VERSION;
	
	my $tmpl = $self->load_tmpl($name,
		die_on_bad_params => 0,
		loop_context_vars => 1,
		global_vars => 1,
		$cache => 1,
		);
	
	$tmpl->param(@extras) if @extras;
	return $tmpl;
}


Cheers,

Thilo
