Instead of reposting your question in its entirety (did you just cut'n'paste and rename it, hoping it wouldn't be noticed?), try and rephrase your question. Break it down to the smallest possible reprodicible test case. Often, I have found that by creating the smallest possible example, I have solved my problem.

Your first problem is that you're not using a standard templating module, like HTML::Template or Template Toolkit. Use one of those - they have solved the issue I see you asking about. Plus, we'll actually be able to understand your question and give you meaningful answers.
