Hi Monks!

I need to load a template that is in a module to the main template in the main.pl file.
Question is, if this is the way to do it, I am getting this error :

"Can't call method "output" on an undefined value"

I do have values in "\@rows", I might be passing it wrong?
Here is the code to show, to illustrate my saying:

main.pl
use strict ;
use warnings ;

use CGI ;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

use Data::Dumper ;
use Data::Dump 'pp';

use InfoD;

use HTML::Template;

my $q = CGI->new;

start();

sub start {

 my $return_val_from_tables = tables();

 # Main Template
 my $main_tmpl = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'templates/main.tmpl'
+, die_on_bad_params => 0,);

 # load values into the main template
 my $name = "Proto";

 $main_tmpl->param(
                       NAME => $name,
               STUFF => 'TEST',
               LOAD => $return_val_from_tables->output(),
               
              );
              
 print $q->header, $main_tmpl->output;

 }

InfoD.pm 
sub tables {

 my @rows = (
...
    ) ;
    
 # Load new template to add to main template later
 my $table_tmpl = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'templates/table.tmp
+l', die_on_bad_params => 0,);
 
  #Load these values into the template
 $table_tmpl->param(
                        DATA => \@rows,
                   );

 # Load this template into main template
 my $table_load = $table_tmpl->output();
 
 return $table_load;
 
}

Thank you for helping out!
