You may want to change this.
<div class="<TMPL_VAR MAIN_MENU_CLASS>"><p>
<TMPL_LOOP MAIN_MENU_LOOP><nobr><b><a href="<TMPL_VAR URL>">[<TMPL_VAR LABEL>]</a></b></nobr>
</TMPL_LOOP></p></div>One way to change it:
$HTML::Template::Menu::DEFAULT_TMPL = q{
<div class="<TMPL_VAR MAIN_MENU_CLASS>"><p>
<TMPL_LOOP MAIN_MENU_LOOP><nobr><b><img src="/gfx/bullet.png"> <a href="<TMPL_VAR URL>">[<TMPL_VAR LABEL>]</a></b></nobr>
</TMPL_LOOP></p></div>
}; Or you can just get the menu loop and inject into your template
