Hi.
In experimenting with the HTML::Template module, I have experienced a small problem:

test.tmpl

<html>
<head>
<title><TMPL_VAR NAME="THAT_FAMOUS_STRING"></title>
</head>
<body>
<b><TMPL_VAR NAME="THAT_FAMOUS_STRING"></b>
</body>
</html>

[download]


test.cgi

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use lib qw(/home/kmiller/lib/);
use HTML::Template;

my $that_famous_string = "Hello, World!";
my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename=>'test.tmpl');

$template->param(THAT_FAMOUS_STRING=>$that_famous_string);

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

print $template->output;

Output when executed from the command line:

Content-type: text/html

<html>
<head>
<title>Hello, World!</title>
</head>
<body>
<b>Hello, World!</b>
</body>
</html>

When I attempt to execute the program as a url, I receive the dreaded 'Internal Server Error' error message. Since I don't have root access, I am unable to read the apache logs. Any idea why the error is occuring? I am using the 'lib' pragma to identify the location of my modules. In order to establish whether or not they were installed correctly, I wrote a small test script: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use lib qw(/home/kmiller/lib/);
use HTML::Template;

and executed it from the command line without incident.
Thanks,
-Katie.
