Yuck. If you have to synchronize the template with the code, why use a template at all?
If you ask me, the best solution is to switch to Template Toolkit 2 and do something like this:
[% IF foo_checked ; '<input type=checkbox name="foo" checked>' ; ELSE
+-%]
<input type=checkbox name="foo">[% END %]
And you can also change the tag delimiters so that you can make it look f.ex like so:
<!--// IF foo_checked ; '<input type=checkbox name="foo" checked>' ; E
+LSE -->
<input type=checkbox name="foo"><!--// END -->
That way the browser sees valid HTML and the template can still generate either variant. HTML::Template ain't bad, but its syntax is really too restrictive IMHO.
Makeshifts last the longest.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
