DESCRIPTION
    Apache2::DirBasedHandler::TT, is an subclass of Apache2::DirBasedHandler
    with modified to allow easy use of Template Toolkit templates for
    content generation.

  init
    "init" calls get_tt to get the template object, and stuffs it into the
    hash it gets back from the super class.

  get_tt
    "get_tt" returns a Template Toolkit object, and a hash reference of
    variables which will be passed into the TT process call. You should
    really override this function with to create the Template object
    appropriate to your environment.

  process_template
    "process_template" is a helper function to generate a page based using
    the template object, variables, and template passed in. It sets the
    content_type of the response to the value of the fifth argument.
