=head1 USAGE

This is used exactly like HTML::Template's TMPL_VAR. There is one exception -
since you can have variable names inside the parameters, you can do something
like:

  <loop name="LOOPY">

    <datapoint><var name="$SomeParam"/></datapoint>

    <datapoint value="$SomeParam_2"/>

  </loop>

This will create a graph with the X-axis being SomeParam and the Y-axis as
SomeParam_2. The data structure to be used here is identical to the looping
structure for TMPL_LOOP.
