It may look odd, but the nested quotes are fine. If I had to guess I would say it is because there is a newline within the tag (as it seems to be in your example). I tried it on my installation and *did not* get an error. I am running version 2.7. Looking at the change log this was something that was added in version 2.3. So if you are running anything older than 2.3 it may be time for an upgrade.

The nested quotes in my attempt to put TMPL_VARs into the value field make me suspicious that I am misusing HTML::Template. Anyone have some words of wisdom for me?
