You did not indicate what problem you were having, so I assume you have trouble with outputting the 'title' and 'site_name';

This is because your code overwrites '$vars' after setting those values.

To correct it, set all of them at the same time: 

my $vars = {
        title=> = 'Template Test' ,
        site_name => 'TEST Home Page',
        header  => {
                date    => 'Jan 1, 2008',
                author  => 'Me, myself and I',
        },
        row     => [
                {
                        first   => 'row 1 value 1',
                        second  => 'row 1 value 2',
                },
                {
                        first   => 'row 2 value 1',
                        second  => 'row 2 value 2',
                },
        ],
        footer  => {
                modified        => 'Aug 31, 2006',
        },
    } ;

There is nothing wrong with setting the values individually (Except for negligible performance). Just don't overwrite the variable after setting the values.

Another way would be, after setting some values within $var,: 

  $vars = { %$vars, # Copy in the old values, then add to them..
        header  => { ...
