I thought about that, but it would mean passing this data to every page, 
then code every page to relay it to the toolbar library template on each 
include. I would like to avoid doing this especially since almost all 
the pages need this toolbar.

I was thinking that if I could make the toolbar template a self 
sufficient component, then the regular pages/templates would just 
include it and have it do its own thing, instead of having to relay data 
from their own process calls.

$tt->process('sample_page.html', { data => $data_for_sample_page,
                                   priveleges => \@priveleges });

sample_page.html
----------------------
[% INCLUDE toolbar $priveleges %]

for each page on the system.

Thanks. This makes sense.
