I'm playing around with HTML::Template and I'd like to output to a file rather than the screen.

I've tried:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser);
use CGI ':standard';

use HTML::Template;

my $h="path/test.html";

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

  # fill in some parameters in the template
  $template->param(home => $ENV{HTTP_HOST});
  $template->param(path => $ENV{PATH});
  
  # send the obligatory Content-Type
  print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n";

 
  open(FILE,">$h") ||    die "Failed opening  file: $!";
   print FILE "$template->output";
    close FILE;
    
    print "okay";

which saves the following to the file:
HTML::Template=HASH(0x814a750)->output
Could anyone enlighten me, please?
