Have your friend help you first and do we need to know what your friend
says??..

First though, this has nothing to do with the Subject!!!!!!!! Folks
who know a lot about HTML::Template just wasted their time reading
your post.

This is all you needed to post. Code showing the issue and
your question.

Use ${word} where you want it to occur, instead of $word.

my $html_file = "${word}_$newnum1.html";

Since you could have a variable $word_, you need to show
that you really only want it to use $word.

No need for () there..
die "Can't open ceiling.pl for writing: $!"

Bye bye ceiling.pl..

Think about it.....
What do you think '>' will do?
Why do you think you want do to that?
Actually, I'm not sure what you're asking.. How do you 'write from $gh
to $fh'?

You can answer this yourself. Be sure to have a copy of ceiling.pl
first though.

Do you think anyone will continue reading your post if put in
more garbage???..
