As you are already utilizing a hook in DataHandler I would suggest to 
rather use the "afterDatabaseOperation" hook therein and then make a 
recursive call to itself "$this->process_datamap()" to create the new 
entry, eventually from an template record/dataset.

As you are creating pages after a page has been created you would have 
to take care to avoid infinite loops by using some static variable 
keeping the hook from being executed a second time.
