Hi. I'm trying to work through the template toolkit tutorial and can't get the examples to work. Here's my main code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Template;
use CGI qw/:standard/;
use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/;
$| = 1;

print header;
my $file = '/templates/userinfo.html';

my $vars = {
        'version'  => 3.14,
        'days'     => [ qw( mon tue wed thu fri sat sun ) ],
        'worklist' => \&get_user_projects,
        'cgi'      => CGI->new(),
        'me'       => {
            'id'    => 'abw',
            'name'  => 'Andy Wardley',
        },
};

sub get_user_projects {
    my $user = shift;
    my @projects = qq/ Foo Bar Baz /;
    return \@projects;
}

my $template = Template->new({
    INCLUDE_PATH => '/templates/includes',
    PRE_PROCESS  => 'config',
});

$template->process($file, $vars)   # This is line 33
    || die $template->error();

When I try to run this it says 
file error - /templates/userinfo.html: absolute paths are not allowed 
+(set ABSOLUTE option)
at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\userinfo.cgi line 33.

When I change the file to a relative path, it says 
file error - ../templates/userinfo.html: relative paths are not allowe
+d (set RELATIVE option)
at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\userinfo.cgi line 32.

Why does it say that I can't use absolute or relative paths? I didn't know there were any other types. Grr...

This is the file structure, if it matters. 


wwwroot ---- cgi-bin
         |
         |
         \-- templates ---- includes
I have userinfo.html in the templates folder and the header and footer files in the includes folder.
