Unfortunately, it's not working for me.  Perhaps I'm overlooking something?


% perl -MTemplate -le 'print $Template::VERSION'
2.19

[% Catalyst.localize('You have [quant,_1,new message].',
                      new_message_count)
    | replace('(\d+)', '<span class="highlight">$1</span>') %]

Result:

   You have <span class="highlight">$1</span> new messages.

The $1 is inserted as a literal string.
