Well, you copy all the code in CGI::Application::load_tmpl, and replace 
"HTML::Template" with "HTML::Template::Expr".

Or you could be even fancier, and do what CGI::Application::Plugin::HTCompiled 
does. Slightly more cumbersome to use in your own applications, but it does 
show how to override load_tmpl.


I do think your question is more justification for the small refactoring I 
proposed a couple of weeks ago (to pull out the hard-coded "HTML::Template" 
into a constant method). Ah well.
