My problem had to do with the content header. I also did not realize that you are supposed to point the .pl file in the browser. Rookie mistakes!
As far as the <TMPL_VAR> tags, all of the tutorials that I have seen look like this <TMPL_VAR NAME=SECRET_MESSAGE> -- as opposed to <TMPL_VAR SECRET_MESSAGE>.

I don't think you are suppose to use a name attribute, I think you just put the name of the parameter in the tag. <TMPL_VAR SECRET_MESSAGE> instead of <TMPL_VAR NAME=SECRET_MESSAGE> Don't be embarrassed - in three days nobody on this list figured it out! -Derrick On Friday, Jan 17, 2003, at 09:03 US/Eastern, Hughes, Andrew wrote: > Actually, I am sort of embarrassed (and proud) to say that I figured > out > that one late last night.
