G'day nathaniels,

Welcome to the monastery.

It's been a few years since I last used Template::Toolkit and I haven't used Dancer. Bearing those caveats in mind, your main problem seems to be this: 

FOREACH item IN list

[download]

which, from the examples in Template::Manual::Intro, should be: 

FOREACH item = list

[download]

You also have secondary problems in your HTML code: <title> should be in a <head> element; <h1> and <h2> should be inside the <body> element; and <li> should be in a <ul> element. I'd suggest your template should look a bit more like this: 

<html>
    <head>
        <title>...</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>...</h1>
        <h2>...</h2>
        <ul>
            <% FOREACH item = list %>
                <li><% item %></li>
            <% END %> 
        </ul>
    </body>
</html>

[download]

Some browsers may be forgiving about this but not necessarily consistently and it's not something you should rely on.
