I would copy the TemplateDefault.pm file to another directory but leave name as 
is. Then just alter your include path to make sure your local copy loads first.

example:

/usr/local/myspecial/SWISH/TemplateDefault.pm
/usr/local/lib/SWISH/TemplateDefault.pm

then alter your @INC (or however it's being done in swish.cgi, with 'use lib' or 
the like) to include '/usr/local/myspecial' before '/usr/local/lib'

read the perl docs on altering the include path (@INC) at compile time. The 
first SWISH/TemplateDefault.pm the script finds is the one it will use.
