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

it can be done either way:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use HTML::Template;

my %data = (
  ONE => '&one',
  TWO => ' /two'
);

my $template = HTML::Template->new(filename => 'onetwo.tmpl');
$template->param(%data);
print "Content-type:  text/html\n\n";
print $template->output;


if 'onetwo.tmpl' contains either the following:

<TMPL_VAR ESCAPE=HTML ONE>
<TMPL_VAR ESCAPE=URL TWO>

or this:

<TMPL_VAR ESCAPE=HTML NAME=ONE>
<TMPL_VAR ESCAPE=URL NAME=TWO>


the output is always:

Content-type:  text/html

&amp;one
%20%2Ftwo
