There was before a problem with installing Template-Toolkit-2.08, where I
commented one line out which was including something in the file, what (maybe)
wasn't used in that file.I found that hint in the web.

This problem here I also found mentioned in the web once, but without any solution.

I'm using SuSE distribution with Linux 2.4.4, and perl 5.6.0

I'm pretty sure this isn't a bugzilla problem, since the error is coming from
the Template Toolkit and you had to comment out a line in the TT installation. I
recomend that you email the Template Toolkit mailing list with details of the
error that you had during installation. ->WORKSFORME

marking worksforme, reporter please reopen if you are still having this issue
with a fully functioning installation of the template toolkit
