Thanks Anonymous Monk and cdarke.

From the CPAN HTML::Template page, 
my $t = HTML::Template->new( scalarref => $ref_to_template_text, 
                               option => 'value' 
                             );

Q: What would 'value' be in this case in the following?

my $t = HTML::Template->new( scalarref => $template_file, 
                               option => 'value' 
                             );

I already added to the template, '<TMPL_VAR NAME=PERLCODE>' per that module.

Q: Should I still use that format for later substitution?

Now, I want to add the Perl print statement mentioned in my initial post.

Q: How would I do that?

=========

cdarke, what I was thinking of previously was something similar to:

my $template = HTML::Template->new($template_file);

but as shown, Anonymous Monk mentioned new().

Thanks again to you both.
