I didn't think my proposition as a replacement for existing templates.
I was thinking of next screens or redesigned screens. As in the
make_URL function I propose, we give the list of key/value parameters,
no extra work to add it to template params :-).

my $url_base = 'script.pl';
my $url_params = [
    {key => 'key1', val => 'val1'},
    {key => 'key2', val => 'val2'},
    {key => 'key3', val => 'val3'},
];

$template->param(
    url => make_url(
        $url_base,
        $url_params
    ),
    base_url => $url_base,
    url_params => $url_params,
);

Owen, would that be a solution for new or renewed templates?
