I used C::A::P::AnyTemplate when I wanted to use H::T::Expr rather than
H::T. It found that it had a memory leak when using H::T::Expr (rather
than another template solution, say Template Toolkit). A fix can be found
in http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=18157, but I don't know
if it will ever make it to the core module
