I can think of two ways to do it: alternate namespace (convenient for
XHTML):

    my $template = Template->new({ 
        START_TAG => quotemeta('<tt:'),
        END_TAG   => quotemeta('/>'),
    });

or hidden in comments

    my $template = Template->new({ 
        TAG_STYLE => 'html',  # '<!--' and '-->'
    });
