Note that you can also simply place your template code into the DATA file (which begins with the token "__END__" or "__DATA__" at the end of your script), loading it with the filehandle parameter to HTML::Template::new() instead of the filename parameter. I like to use this technique for very simple scripts/short templates, as it keeps your HTML in the same physical file but separate from your Perl program: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::Template;

my $tmpl = HTML::Template->new( filehandle => \*DATA );
my $user = 'Mr. Foo';

if (1) {
    $tmpl->param( message => "Hello $user, your account - ready" );
    print $tmpl->output();
    exit 0;
} else {
    $tmpl->param( message => "Your user/pin incorrect - Use correct in
+put" );
    print $tmpl->output();
}

__END__

Hope this helps!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
