I'm writing my first CGI::Application/HTML::Template application, have spent a few hours Googling and trying things but can't figure out what is wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

template: 
<form method='post' action='<TMPL_VAR NAME="LOGIN_URL">'>
   Email Address <input type='text' name='email' size='50'
                        maxlength='80'
                        value='<TMPL_VAR NAME="EMAIL">'>
   <br><br>
   Last six digits of SSN <input type='password' name='pin' size='8'
                                 maxlength='6'
                                 value='<TMPL_VAR NAME="PASSWD">'>
   <br><br>
   <input type='hidden' name='rm' value='<TMPL_VAR NAME="RM">'>
   <input type='submit' name='submit'>
</form>

code: 
sub form_login {
   my ( $self ) = @_;
   my $nextrm = 'authenticate';

   # Get CGI query object
   my $cgi = $self->query();
   my $email = $cgi->param('email');
   $self->tmpl_path('./');
   my $output = $cgi->header();
   $output .= $cgi->start_html( -title => 'Employee Login Form' );
   my $tmpl_obj = $self->load_tmpl( 'Login.tmpl' );
#   $output .= Dumper ( $tmpl_obj );
#   print $output;
#  next line generates the error
   $tmpl_obj->param(
      LOGIN_URL => '/cgi-bin/Auth/Auth.cgi',
      EMAIL => $cgi->param('email'),
      PASSWD => '',
      RM => $nextrm,
   );
   $output .= $tmpl_obj->output;
   $output .= $self->dump_html();
   $output .= $cgi->end_html();
   return $output;
}

The resulting error message is: HTML::Template->param() : You gave me an odd number of parameters to param()! at Auth.pm line 51 If I uncomment the two output lines, I get the following:
