This is my first post so feel free to critique me etiquette as well. My problem is the html outfile producing strings cutoff at the first space in the Records Loop. Here's the short program preceding the template it's supposed to fill out:

PROGRAM 

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use v5.16.3;  
use strict;    
use warnings;
use autodie;
use Data::Dump qw(dump);
use HTML::Template;

my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'test.tmpl');

open FILE, ">", "output.html";

$template->param(RECORDS => [
    {LINENUMBER => "1", CHARACTER => "Sid", TEXT => "this only prints 
+the first word"},
    {LINENUMBER => "2", CHARACTER => "Sid", TEXT => "this only prints 
+the first word"},
    {LINENUMBER => "3", CHARACTER => "Sid", TEXT => "this only prints 
+the first word"},
    ]);

print FILE "Content-Type: text/html\n\n", $template->output;

close FILE;

<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=TEXTINPUT VALUE=<TMPL_VAR NAME=TEXT>

will print out "This"

<INPUT TYPE=TEXT VALUE="This value works">

will print out the full string.

Thanks for your help!
