I tested with the following in template.tt:

[% template.name %]
[% IF foo %]

and it gave me:

> perl foo.pl
file error - parse error - template.tt line 2: unexpected end of input

You can call the parser directly, using the text of the template, like this:

use Template::Parser;
use Data::Dumper;
use File::Slurp;

my $tt_code = File::Slurp::read_file('./template.tt');
my $parser = Template::Parser->new();
my $perl_code = $parser->parse($tt_code);
die $parser->error() unless defined $perl_code;
print Dumper $perl_code;

but it will just give you the same error.
