Hi there:

Yes, I tried it. The filled variables in the template in the first call became null in the second call of fill_in. The template only got the value of variables used in the second call of fill_in.

Here is the template

        It has come to our attention that you are delinquent in your
        {$monthname[$last_paid_month]} payment.  Please remit
        ${sprintf("%.2f", $amount)} immediately, or your patellae may 
        be needlessly endangered. 
                       Love,
                       Mark "Vizopteryx" Dominus

Here is the script
#!/usr/bin/perl5.6

use Text::Template;
my $template = Text::Template->new(SOURCE => 'formletter.tmpl')
          or die "Couldn't construct template: $Text::Template::ERROR"
+; 
my @monthname = qw(January February March April May June
                           July August September October November Dece
+mber);
my %vars1 = (title => 'Mr.',
                    last_paid_month => 1,   # February
                    amount => 392.12,
                    monthname => \@monthname,
                   );

my $result = $template->fill_in(HASH => \%vars1);

if (defined $result) { print $result }
else { die "Couldn't fill in template: $Text::Template::ERROR" }

my %vars2 = (title => 'Mr.',
                    firstname => 'Bill',
                    lastname => 'Gates',
                   );

$result = $template->fill_in(HASH => \%vars2);
if (defined $result) { print $result }
else { die "Couldn't fill in template: $Text::Template::ERROR" }
