I'm not an expert but as you haven't had any replies so far, can I
suggest something? There's a description of what should happen in 2.18
in the section titled 'PRE_CHOMP, POST_CHOMP' on this page:
<http://search.cpan.org/~abw/Template-Toolkit-2.18/lib/Template/Manual/Config.pod>
and there's a corresponding description for 2.14 on this page:
<http://search.cpan.org/~abw/Template-Toolkit-2.14/lib/Template/Manual/Config.pod>

If you compare those details with the behaviour of your system, can you
see whether there is some way to do what you want? Or is TT not behaving
like it's documented? Or do you need a change in the documented behaviour?
