Template Toolkit troubleshooting

If a module upon which your code is dependent does not compile, then Template Toolkit 2 under mod_perl 1.3 can give two misleading error messages:
  1. can't locate that module in the @INC path, although it is really there
  2. plugin error - load() returned a false value
The solution to both error messages is to syntax check all the dependent modules.
