This isn't a perl issue, or an issue relating to CGI::Application. I'd simply replace this path you assign to the template variable with one relative to your myapp site, that your apache configuration will be able to locate and serve. You should spend some time reading about HTML, the apache documentation, and Ovid's CGI course (thanks to jdporter for hosting this) to learn how to debug such problems.	[reply]

As marto pointed out, you need to fix the URL to your CSS file. I suppose your App might work if you double click the CGI (windows right?) but when it's run by a real web server, no major browser (in default configuration) will allow a remote file to access a local file. See the spec at HTML 4.01, look around for HTML tutorials, and/or buy a book on HTML.	[reply]
