I'm a little confused. You talk about using __END__ but then you mention passing the DATA filehandle. I assume you meant to use __DATA__ instead.
HTML::Template's new() method can also take text as the template, it doesn't have to be a filehandle. Per the docs:
Alternately you can use:
my $t = HTML::Template->new( scalarref => $ref_to_template_text,
option => 'value'
);
and
my $t = HTML::Template->new( arrayref => $ref_to_array_of_lines ,
option => 'value'
);
These initialize the template from in-memory resources.
It looks like you can just slurp in your template (using while( my $line = __DATA__ ) or similar) and then pass the string to HTML::Template->new().

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).
