    I tried this: 
       my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename =>   $prepage,
                                                        die_on_bad_par
+ams => 0);                                        
         $template->param(Option_3 => $Option_3);
         $template->param(Option_4 => $Option_4);
         $template->param(Option_5 => $Option_5);
        $template->output();
   print "$template";
        exit;

        exit;

      Or just:

      print $template->output();

      if you're not doing anything with $html other than printing it. But yup, you've got it!

      Cheers,

      $template is an object. Unless it has an explicit stringification overload printing it is unlikely to do what you might hope for. Try my $str = $template->output (); print $str; instead.
