Holy Monks,

I'm trying to use the Template::Toolkit module for a CGI application. Here's the code I use: 

  my $output =  "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
  
  my $file = 'index.html';
  my $vars = {
       title  => "Hello World\n"
    };

  my $template = Template->new({
      INCLUDE_PATH => 'C:/Apache2/htdocs/gelna/templates'
         }
  );

  $output .= $template->process($file, $vars) || die "Template process
+ failed: ", $template->error(), "\n";

  print $output;

The ouput from this code is this: 

C:\Apache2\htdocs\gelna>perl index.cgi
<HTML>
    <head>
    <title>This is an HTML example</title>
    </head>

    <body bgcolor="#ffffff">

<h1></h1>
    <hr>
    <center>
    &copy; Copyright 2000 Me, Myself, I
    </center>
    </body>
    </html>
Content-type: text/html

Thus, the HTML header goes after the template output. I can't make it go first. What am I doing wrong here? BTW, in the beginning I tried to use the CGI::Application together with it. And I also couldn't make the header go before the template processing output. The Template::Toolkit seems to process my template well. It's just the header that doesn't work. And the "1" value at the end of the output bothers me too.

Thank you.
