For starters, your my usage is wrong.
my $headline, $body, $url;
means
(my $headline), $body, $url;
but you want
my ($headline, $body, $url);
The solution requiring minial change is,
# publish.pl
sub layout {
local our ($headline, $body, $url) = @_;
do 'article.layout.pl';
}
layout($headline, $body, $url);
# article.layout.pl
our ($headline, $body, $url);
print("$headline, $body, $url\n");
Update: Just to be clear, I recommend against using my solution (and wfsp's). I think you're going to spend way more time avoiding using a real template system than actually switching over. The sooner you switch, the easier and quicker it will be. My solution is a quick fix in case you already have your "templates" written that way and this needs to be done "yesterday". Otherwise, I think switching to a templating system would be faster, even in the short run.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
