The HTML::Template::Filter::Dreamweaver code does exactly what you are
looking for.

Nifty, but not exactly what I was looking for; I was thinking more along the
lines of a few lines at the beginning of the file (a la Twiki) with the
parameters, and the rest being a standard H::T template.  Then you just call
the micro-config-reader bit *if* you need it, and when it's done with its
bit at the beginning, it calls H::T for the rest.

That way, you gain the ability to have parms and template in the same file
for convenience' sake, but you don't have to parse every single template in
case it has parms (which might even pose a security risk, if you're letting
users make skins using H::T).

You'd probably want to config bit at the beginning of the file to be
enclosed in comment delimiters just in case you wanted to be able to call
H::T on the entire file.  Of course, that'd leave the params visible in the
finished product, which might itself be a security breach, so at a certain
point you have to decide to separate the config from the user content.
